all New Toyota Prius

[bradders]

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd let you all know that i'll be driving the all new Toyota Prius starting from tommorow until Tuesday across the UK. Working for Toyota, i will be driving the car as part of the Toyota blog, enabling interested customers to drive and experience the latest generation Prius!

Starting from Toyota HQ i'll the proposed route will take us through roughly a 1000 miles from Epsom to Cornwall, through Wales, past Manchester to Glasgow and then back down to Cornwall. If you fancy following my status follow the Twitter page @ http://twitter.com/Toyota_UK_Prius or the Blog itself at http://blog.toyota.co.uk/prius-uk-marathon-test-drive

A bit different to the Williams, but it should be a good experience, wish me luck!

What's the top speed like? It would be good if you can do a speed against consumption graph, so that prospective buyer can decide if the consumption suits their driving habit.

that graph isnt a bad shout, well we were averaging around 72mpg when i left them in Liverpool!
