all our future reps cars are going to be Prius, but on taking the test car out on trial i must say i found it an odd experience, for town driving the electric motor does all the work and the drive (by wires, urghh) is completely silent, which at present is such a unique experience i nearly offed 12 pensioners and a crocodile of school children on their way to the baths, all on a ten minute jaunt round halifax. Didn't Tufty, Green Cross Man et al teach us to stop, look (you can't see it over the prevailence of people carriers) and listen (there's nothing to listen to, you almost ex-squirrel). god help willy weasel rushing to the ice cream van with this bad boy in town.
In terms of fuel consumption, green credentials etc etc almost unrivalled, i'll let you know how it is at pulling cows stuck in the mud out of the beck in due course |
