What you need to know: Toyota Prius T Spirit Hybrid 1.5 VVT-i 5 Door

Tags: hybrid
We like:
The space inside; visiting petrol stations rarely; the quiet engine
We don't like:
The rear view; the slow acceleration; Toyota's anti-eco lobbying in the US
SmartPlanet judgement:

On top of the combination electric motor, battery and engine, which saves fuel and makes the drive more efficient, the Prius can hold five adults comfortably -- honest -- and a load in the boot. We do object to the bad rear-view vision, however.

Bigger wheels do mean better speed and stability -- but a bigger, more awkward folded form, too

This city car has great styling, good economy, and is relatively cheap to buy -- but it's more bouncy than sporty

GoinGreen Reva G-Wiz i
The G-Wiz could be perfect for some, but it's likely to frustrate most drivers with its shortcomings on performance and style -- even with the upgrades
