 but you can get an extended test drive of a few hours which could be enough.But you are right. You can get other cars which do high MPG but they are not a big as a Prius. Depends what you want. For a daily commute a small car would be OK but for a family car you need something with a bit of room. I always smile when the USA members talk about the Prius being a small car! What would they make of an IQ? | |

Friends: 0 | Re: Looking to get a Prius - any tips That's pretty good. You might want to give the satnav a test. Over on the UK Toyota blog, there are lots of complaints about it. And the ipod integration. Not an issue for me. I've no ipod and I have a tomtom Last edited by johalareewi; 11-27-2009 at 09:44 AM. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Looking to get a Prius - any tips Well you can pair your phone with the test car without downloading your contacts. Then to call just do what you would usually do (dial from your phone), the call will be handled by the car. That's what I did during my test drive. |
