PicturesSee the What Car? review

Great

* Better for Mother Nature than a conventional car
* Exempt from congestion charging and high company tax bills
* Progressive styling and distinctive good looks

Gripes

* Controls take a bit of playing with
* Not everyone is as trendy as you – resale might be harder
* High seating position may be irksome for some
DriveDrive rating - 4 out of 5 stars
You would never know when the car switches from one fuel to another unless you happen to read the monitor. Steering is nice and light and there's plenty of pep
ReliabilityReliability rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Toyota reliability in evidence, and there have been great reports about performance from early adopters who have driven the previous edition
InsideInside rating - 3 out of 5 stars
It's all gone a bit futuristic in there and since it's not like any other car you've ever driven it may take a bit of manual-flicking to find out what you should be pushing and when.
SpaceSpace rating - 4 out of 5 stars
There is a box running down the centre of the car that may be annoying for the person who got the short 'centre seat in the back' straw. Tall people have legroom in there though, so it's practical
SafetySafety rating - 5 out of 5 stars
Good kit, with a total of eight airbags and stability control
 Standards and extrasStandards and extras rating - 4 out of 5 stars
All you would expect from a mid range family car and with the added options of a voice recognition system and Bluetooth for your mobile phone
