Toyota Prius: clean cruising

First Opinion

The new Prius marks a significant leap forward in refinement and driveability, although it's still not much fun behind the wheel. The sharper

styling is an improvement, but aerodynamic requirements dictate the awkward-looking profile. It's still not cheap, but with prices frozen over

from the current generation car, loads of extra equipment and rock-bottom running costs, the Prius is real value for money.
