Any go-faster mods? Any reliabilty issues? Any comments?
Just went looking at the '06 model for the wife. Reasonably price (only about 25% higher than comparable mid-sized jap cars). I like the spacious interior and gadgety bits. Haven't test drove yet, but friends tell me it has decent throttle response in city traffic (due to torquey electric motor kicking in). Fuel consumption is good but not great (about 40 mpg, I think). BTW, can't buy diesel cars here, not really all that fussed about the consumption anyway. But I don't like the tree-hugger image. Clio Williams and Toyota Prius in the same driveway somehow just feels so wrong. :D
