That's because you've never used it. The car starts before you are able to select a gear. It is silent when at standstill so you can hear the radio better, saves money and is completely non intrusive.

What cars on the market have the best MPG? I don't mean battery powered or Dinky sized cars. Just wondered which ones give the best MPG. Thanks
My next door neighbor drives an old Seat Ibiza 8v GTi with an asthmatic 2.0L 115 bhp engine.
He does 30,000 miles a year commuting to work all over the country as an electrician.
I have worked out that the Octavia Greenline II would save him £4500 a year.
(70mpg - 30mpg = 40mpg. 30,000/40 = 750 gallons @ £6 a gallon = £4500)
This is a no brainer for me, drive a knackered old Seat an get 30mpg or drive a brand new Octavia and get 70mpg.
1) There is no such thing as an Ibiza GTi 8v automatic.
Fuel costs going up and other bills skyrocketing. Need to look at cars that can do a good distance on fuel. Not everyone wants the 'In' car at the moment. Not everyone wants to have a fast car or one that can do 0-60 in a few 2nds!
I get 500/520 miles per 40L in my gen 2 toyota prius
my diesel 206 1.8 gets 490/520 miles per 60L on the same journeys
90% of journies are 4 to 6 miles,
the prius saves me 750 on fuel and 230 on road tax a year.
longer journies the prius is a bit better @ 560 miles however where as I have used 12 40L tanks to get a 500 - 520 estimate I have only done two long range trips
I would be interested to know what other people get on a tank for short trips especialyl people saying they get 70/80MPG
Yes folks, the Prius has excellent acceleration

Quotes from people who have no idea?? Let me guess you read it somewhere?
It's listed 0-60 of 9.8 seconds is comparable the cars most of you drive
I think it would be quite amusing to own a Prius and rag it round everywhere like a cheap bonkers hot hatch, if that's even possible of course

There we go then, no further discussion needed? It's distinctly average.
10 seconds to 60 is not 'excellent acceleration'. I very much doubt its comparable to the cars most of us here own and have owned.
