Gen III in Singapore

A local review of the 2010 Prius in The Straits Times on 23 Jun 09.

Hush, it's a Prius

By Lee Nian Tjoe

Toyota is so determined that its new Prius gets noticed that it plastered its test car with stickers to cover almost every centimetre of painted metal except the bonnet and boot.
With the third-generation model looking so much like the outgoing one, especially its rear, you can almost understand its anxiety to get noticed.

Hi all, newbie here from Singapore.

Currently driving a 2004 Corolla Altis and dying to get a Prius some day ! I've been following the tips on improving FC over in cleanmpg.com and my last tank yielded 5.6 L/100km.

I visited Hybrid Motors at Ubi last week. They import the Prius, with Japanese fonts, no HUD. The basic model has no rear wiper, no fogs, no cruise control. Cheaper than Borneo Motors but still beyond my means :-( Hoping for COE prices to drop...

Good to know there are a few Prius lovers and eco-conscious drivers out there in Sing. =)

Hi reeed,

Wow! 5.6L/100km in a Corolla Altis is very good!

Most Altis are getting 8 ~ 9L/100km.

Hi Vincent.

I learnt heaps of tips from cleanmpg . com over the past 2 months ! But looking through my old petrol receipts, my FC in the past was perhaps 6.6 - 7 L/100km. It's a good car :-) My daily commute covers 20 km of PIE each way.

I drove a rented 2007 Prius for a week in Perth, Oz. = heaven on earth :-) can't wait to get back inside one.
