    Hi all,

    Picked up my 06 T-Spirit last Sunday and I'm already in love with it. I originally was going to buy a Citroen C4 but started thinking about running costs and was drawn to the Prius. I think it's a well smart, clever, classy car and I just hope the reliability is their, week 1 has been fine, averaged about 53mpg urban, well impressed with everything, well done Toyota.

    Hi all,

    Thanks for the welcome, I hope to have plenty of happy summer Prius miles ahead, Skegness will be my first longish run at easter, about 95 miles, hoping to do it one way for £10.

    Anyway thanks again and happy prius driving to you all.

    P.S. Will try and get some piccies uploaded.

    Laters, MarkyT

    Hi all,

    Oh no complete disaster, left my Prius parked outside my inlaws house and just as I was leaving, the sound of bumper creasing steel panel echoed down the entry, looked up to see a car angled obscurely into the side of beloved 2 week owned Prius. Needless to say I could have cried and nearly did, anyway been to Toyota for quote and hopefully should be sorted soon, just can't beleive it.
