Newish car, but not as new as sleepyhead!
The Jazz is getting on a bit (53 plate) and due a major service in May.
Fixed term mortgage finishes in Feb 2013, meaning I need to finance a car right now, or wait until 2013 (when the Jazz is worthless).
No brainer, really.
**** planet earth, it'll lower my tax & fuel bills compared to that gas-guzzling Honda I had before.
And it's the super duper top-end model with whizzy bits.
If you dont mind a smaller car, get the VW Bluemotion Polo, much more economic.
Considered it, but wife didn't want to downgrade from the Jazz. This way I get an upgrade on size yet also lower my bills (although the bills part not as much of a saving as Bluemotion)Originally Posted by DeludedGuy

Was the brakes on the prius i think apparently fixed in the newer ones.
Im sorry not to actually really add anything to this. But when I saw it was directhex posting about a new car I actually hoped that the number plate would be covered with pokemon again. I was not disappointed
got there before meCan't stop now.. I'm driving my Prius
i'll post my new car thread tonight i think
The anti-lock braking issue is the third-gen 2009 Prius, this is a 2006 second-gen
The accelerator pedals are for the AYGO, iQ, Yaris, Auris, Corolla, Verso, and Avensis (various models from 2005-2010)
A series of recalls in 2006 (stop light, stalling, airbags, steering) apply to a selection of cars from November 2005 and earlier
Short version: Nope, 2006 car, never recalled, standard 5* NCAP rating applies.
C'mon, you don't think I would have checked this stuff?
Some of us want to move forwards in life, matey!Can't stop now.. I'm driving my Prius
At high speed!
Hey Directhex thought you would of matey just something I sort of heard on the news, you know when something goes in and your not really listening then later on it comes out all wrong , my post was a prime example

That looks like quite a smart car, the only thing I know I'd hate is having the speedo etc slap bang in the middle.
Just whatever you do don't take it top gear, they seem to have problems with a piano removal company.
Thought that was a Morris Marina?
The trip computer's in the middle. The speedo etc are in a fairly thin band of very recessed plastic at the top-right of the console, in bright digital form. Like http://john1701a.com/prius/photos/Pr...d_Beige-05.jpg but, well, on the correct side of the car
Your correct, but the lads hate the Prius.
8.4mpg?
Eight point Four Miles Per Gallon. From a hybrid.
Oh dear.
Nice car btw
