    my names roy and have owned my car for 4 days got the car from a local car dealer its a 2008 t spirit model got 60,000 on the clock and is going ok.

    sold my jaguar and gone to this car must say so far its not bad as most of my driving is about town so never far from a petrol station
    when i got the car it was running at the dealers so went to get fuel.

    after filling could not get the car started the dealer said to start put foot on brake press button. idiot here was putting foot on hand brake pedal well u live and learn.

    lots to learn about this car got all the toys, got the phone working ,satnav works, ok great audio and the air con thinks its a fridge well cold.

    it is also not a slow car surprised as everyone said it was.

    reading the forum has made me feel have i done the right thing getting this car only time will tell,only got it as it a toyota.

    the jag was very reliable hope the prius does the same.

    for me here in uk when u say toyota and reliable u mean the same thing. that why i went for it second hand .

    Welcome Roy - to the cult of whacky high mpg's and over the top reliability
    :welcome:
    Cardiff is a beautiful area - I've climbed down those beach cliffs many a time. Anyway, it'll be a great home for your new ride.

    Welcome to Prius Chat. Sad to say all I know about Cardiff comes from Torchwood.
