For a company car, CO2 is where a lot of the cost comes from - the Prius has a much lower figure than pretty much anything (being a hybrid in a contrived test), which makes it a LOT cheaper than a lot of "conventional" cars.

I'd love to see that. My Golf at 100Mph does about 25mpg as I have the onscreen readout which is pretty accurate I doubt your car does double. Now OK fair enough to you, if your trip computer says that 100mph you get 45mpg who am I to doubt that.
For reference I average about 53.5mpg in my car which involves a 3 mile stop-start, heavy traffic cold engine commute 5 days a week. I don't drive "slowly" when out and about either, overtake most things lol. If I drove "sensibly" then I'd probably get about 65 average. The key is smoothness and forward planning!! Pointless flooring it only to have to slow down at the next set of lights..you see there are traffic heads 300 yards ahead which have just gone red, off the accelerator and let the car coast slowing itself without wasting energy using brakes...free mpg.
I was just taken aback by the screens etc, I hated the gearstick that's one thing that did annoy me.
The CRZ is pretty nice, haven't driven one but sat in one and fitted me fine, really sporty driving position but it'd probably be slow as shit...even the tuned one isn't THAT quick - but you know there's more to life than saving 50 quid here and there on Tax...I'm not sure about company car tax as I'm not involved in that (and it's probably more than £50) but I know I'd rather pay a little more in CC tax and have something like a Volvo diesel or the VW diesel than a hybrid. The diesels will be both more reliable, quicker, nicer to drive and more economical - but in terms of running costs and "kindness to the environment" any of the cars I've listed is better, mainly the Volvo and the Veedub because the big heavy batteries in the hybrids are very very bad and need replacing (at your expense) every 5-7 years.
Again Tristan you jump to conclusions, Octagon Toyota in Reading, test drove a Prius about 6 months ago after having being given a lift home from a work party by an ex-colleague who owned a Focus...no wait, I mean a Prius. (I wasn't drinking it was just ending late, cold and raining and I didn't want to ride my motorcycle so you can't argue alcohol impaired my judgement :razz
Sorry sorry but wrong on both counts. I don't generally make up stuff on cars, only on matters of politics
Theres a lot larger difference than you'd think...
Worst car ever? Lada or Moskvich. No doubt. Time to close thread.
LOL! My truck gets better than that. Your golf must be shit. I cruse at 100mph at 2,500RPM, no worries and get around 26-27mpg. Get 30mpg if I obey the speed limit. Through town I really suffer though. Range Rovers weren't made for stop start traffic.
At 80 I get about 53, at 100 though my turbo is hovering closer to 20psi and I'm doing about 3000rpm, it does about 34mph per 1000 rpm.
Just because you have a druggie dillah car.
**** you
For those reasons, I regret ditching my van, she hardly touched the fuel.
Well I need a vehicle that is in-keeping with my career. By the by, need me to fix you up with anything?
I think you wrote to the wrong thread, didn't you mean the best car ever?
I'm still sticking with ZEV Smiley, a poor smart rip-off with electric engine.
Really pimp interior, can't post in img tags, too big pic.

One of my teachers had a Fiat 126. On the last day of the 6th form, 20 of us picked it up and put it on top of a 1-metre-high concrete building that was in the school car-park.
What in the name of Satan's anus is that?
"Oh, that looks quite a nice vintaggggaaarghh!!!"
10 out of 10 for the parking job too.
America just beat you all again
Not only ugly, but also unreliable!

Polish 126 Rallycross division races are very exciting to watch!
Was going to nominate the updated mini, the one with the same name as the paris underground system, then saw allegro's had been mentioned. 2 pieces of such undiluted $hite mentioned in the 1 thread could damage the very fabric of reality so will have to settle for the maestro instead. The one with innovative features such as a self righteous cow ordering you to put your seatbelt on, a true icon of Thatcher's Britain.
haven bought one for 100 Zt in poland and got 12 days driving out of it....
even in march... Every day was rally driving ( nearly put it up the Arse of a lovely lancia stratos too... which was prob's just a kit car, but still, a good one at that !
)This!
Nuh-uh, the model before was worse than that
Worst car EVER
