Think il go new model pruis or Corolla
The new pruis is a sporty looking yolk
Saw one with a spoiler on pack it looked like a lotus

Im goin check it out 42 ... after listening to rats nightmare .... you can bring a prius to any mechanic shop .... theyll change the oil an filter an hand it back to ya ..... or if ya have a 14mm  socket an a filter chain do the service yurself ... its probly the greatest vehicle ever manufactured... not only is it practically maintenance free .... its fuel economy is spectacular .... are  these ev a step forward ?  Not yet ... indeed  potentially  a trap for taxation .. .... the only reason to go for an ev is the grant but as rat found out thers a risk .... I wont be takin it ... tested and proven unmatched reliability wins out

They're all ok till something goes wrong. If the warranty is up when that happens nothing on them comes cheap. An ID4 headlight bulb is c.€1,500 -vs- €3 for the H7 in a 13yo VW. Heard of another bloke paying over €4,000 for an inverter for his ID4. Far cry from an oil change every 20k kilos. Even under warranty blokes are paying 2 or 3 ton for an annual service on the Chinese yokes.

Yu put me rite off an electric rat .... bleedin nitemare
Ill be gettin a prius if I havnt snuffed it by the time me car is up ... taut ya cudnt use  the new model till I seen one as a taxi ...
As I said ther goin screw yis for electricity wen yis all sign up ..... wen sum apes think ther smart an get solar panels theyll tax them aswell  wen enough apes have  them ..... the green party cnuts will say ther  killin the insects or sumtin as usual fukin ridiculous.... ..... if i won the lotto ide buy  a gaff in achill  near aldi an  ger a horse   .....

You'd want to be off your rocker to trade a 13yo diesel with no DPF or other complexities for a poxy EV that no cunt knows how to fix. It's all great fun thinking you're saving a tenner a week or whatever on diesel... not so much fun when the warranty expires and every repair bill is 4 or 5 figures. There's no age limits for private cars.


Watty and John's are OK
I think u got very unlucky

WHO ASKED FOR THIS REVIEW AND WHY ? Now that disappearing lad from Cork was he a Taxi driver or Private Hire lad ..His fleet might like to use UBER booking .Hacks or private hire cannot compete with taxis for taxiwork .Opens up a whole new work stream for UBER Black ?
Derek O'Creep is too busy to argue against Uber fixed fares while providing his own fixed fares.
