I had me heart set on an automatic avensis octy but after much pondering and fn already starting down the eco cab route I think at this stage a hybrid is the way forward.  Are there any other decent Toyota hybrids out there? The thing my mate hates the most about the prius is its too low down.  He says he has serious issues trying to get over ramps when there's people on board. Curses the car at every opportunity.  Quite frankly I'm surprised he hasn't burnt it yet.  I'll let him know though that you think he's a secret boy George coz he hates his prius.  Maybe that'll change his tune.
It does feel like a bit  cramped bumper car ..and it's not comfortable for me ...the roof is too low ....the seat belts in the back are not spring loaded enough and are always getting caught in the door an denting the back door frame...for ocd autism spectrum like me ....that's catastrophic.....
The central consul cnuts me leg ...the seat is just shite ....thers no comfort....but I've learned to pit up wit it ....
On the promise that its extremely reliable...and its sparingly economical ...tink I told ya all this ....if yur 5' 10 " i tink yu said .....then yur probably on to a winner ....like i said before ...test drive one ......I was in the older ones and they feel very rattly ....so far mine is like a  feeling like hovercraft over bumps ....very quiet .....the ramps can be a problem...I learned that the hard way wit 4 fatties  in the car one day.......
Yur going have to buy at least hybrid......anything else is silly now .....the greens are on the rise again an already since the pandemic ther shooting across our bow......
Yes freenow is licking up to them now ....not cause they care bout the planet ....but cause it enhances ther future goals to appear like they care bout pollution even tho they are owned by the greatest polluters on earth ......german car manufacturers .....
1.8 cubic capacity engine .....
Camry is too big 2.5
Corrola is another option I tink but go an drive one  ...go to dealer ....drive a new one ....
Then the import affordable one

Ye nearly have me convinced octy. Me mate was giving out how small they are and that 3 blokes in the back can get a tad squashy but seeing as we're only taking 2 passengers for the foreseeable I don't think that'll be an issue. Looking forward to going back with a screen between me and the passengers and no drunk twats in the front fooking with yer stereo.  Just the mask thing scares me. Every potential fare off the street could be a dick Turpin.

I get the stereo thing. One other thing that bugs the dung outta me is some bollix getting in when you're listening to Ciara Kelly or Gold Radio, and the prick decides to put his/her own music on nice and loud on the phone with no headphones on. I'm thinking "don't mind me you ignorant prick, I wasn't listening to that anyway". I couldn't be bothered arguing. Gave that up a long time ago. There's no rarin' on some of today's kids.

There's a fella here that drives a corolla hybrid. Swears by it. Lovely looking yoke. I don't have the nitty-gritty on it but might be worth a look. Probably not cheap.

The NTA see fit to throw 55mill at various councils to improve the pedestrian and cycling facilities whereas taxi drivers are required to invest in a WAT/H to realise a maximum 10k grant....i'd say most of that 55mill will be squandered with no accountability.

I don't think there was ever a good time to spend 30k on a car.If you keep it for 6/7/8 years you'll might get your moneys worth.

Bottom line is you won't get away with spending less than 1500/2500 on a vehicle.Buy the cheaper option and you risk mechanical failure that you can't afford to fix.Then you're going down to MABS wondering where it all went wrong.

Protests do fuk all except wind up the public.Nobody likes moany bastards.

The NTA site says they'll be ringing drivers today to do some research.Anything that comes from it will be nothing to do with unions going up to the park in a convoy.

We dont have to piss off the public at all,and we can STILL get results.if the drivers were up for it,all they have to do would be to go into Dublin early in the morning,take up every available parking spot around merrion square,fitzwilliam square,etc everyehere the suits usually park their cars,when they come into town and find no parking spots available,they will be on to leinster house to give us what we want.problem solved,and you are not pissing the public off either

What about the thousands on puppy dole... which half are we in?
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.
