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.

Ideal A/B-class car. It has the price of a good A-class but the size and presence of a B-segment car. The annoying thing is that only a bike rack is allowed on the towbar (on my i10 from 2020 — the 2nd generation already after 2015). I’m still waiting for an iX10 version: a bit taller but otherwise the same.
