Default I miss the prius

The prius is out on loan what a fantastic courtesy car.
Current customer thinks it's absolute fantastic as a commuter and run around.
So get yourselves down to your nearest Toyota dealer today and arrange a test drive.
alternatively book your car in with me for some major work and you can borrow this awesome Toyota.
I'm gutted I've got to slum it in an evo9 fq with 400+ponies

Will feltch be able to do rolling burnouts in the prius when he borrows it?

Perhaps you could put 300psi in the tyres for him

the prius comes standard with traction control which is extremely harsh as are most front wheel drives,even the award winning driver from hell JB will be unable to achieve burnouts.

I cannot particularly moan about the wifes theft of cars in 03 when she went hormonally unstable, she wanted her mums old orion diesel and didn't want the 46k land cruiser amazon she was smoking round in with my free diesel,so 1500 quid to her mum for an orion and I got the landcrusher back which very quickly had a new owner lol

I take it none of you have ever driven one then
sod saving the planet, as a run around they are fine
they also are not slow standard they make 350lbft of torque will embarrass alot of cars off the lights. they also come with an 8 year manufacturers warranty
Personally I think it is ugly but as a run around commuter which also doubles as a van it is ace,and comes with all the toys and the road tax is zero in 09
