My thoughts are that I would consider a Prius if there was no other car available. And that would be after searching where I could find a petrol Mazda 3.

Proof is in the sales, Dealerships cant keep up with demand.

Selling a lot of something, doesn't make that something good.

Its a far better option than the Prius as its cheap. Makes more financial sense. I wont be considering one though, I still think they are rubbish

No, not always, but obviously people like them and they are priced well.

Yeah right, Diesels kill 400 people a year with vehicle emissions and they certainly arent more fuel effiicient.

Proof of both these statements please!

The really bad diesel emissions come from older vehicles like buses though.
Economy depends on where and how you are driving, but even long distance the Prius is competitive (if worse than its official rating)
Yes, its the grit stuff that gets into the air and into your lungs.

lol. Yeah. Europe is banning diesel cars.
Good skills champ.
You should buy a Prius. It'd suit you.

I don't think any European country has banned diesels, while they're slowly losing favour they're still extremely popular (much more so than here). Their newer emission standards are pretty stringent though
Japan is much tougher on them though, which is why no one sells diesel cars in Japan these days.
Yes sorry might be all poo with that statement, have deleted that.

My mum bought one, it hasn't got much grunt but it is a nice little run around shopping trolley for her & was cheap compared to other hybrids. I drive a small turbo diesel & it has about the same economy plus it has grunt when needed. She is very happy with her car & so am I.
