I've had the 225 Hybrid GT for two years. Super car if you have, say, solar panels on the roof and charge from a socket — with a 10–15 km commute you drive on electricity for next to nothing. On the motorway at 140 km/h it uses about 6.0–6.3 l/100 km, superb comfort and quietness — and that stylish look!!!

Toyota Prius

The Prius glides through traffic like a wise commuter's secret weapon, balancing miserly running costs with an unflappable sense of reliability. It's not a thrill seeker, but its roomy cabin, sensible packaging and low-stress driving personality make it a brilliant choice for buyers who value peace of mind over pulse-raising performance.
