Tom.Kitchingman 1 Posted February 14 Hi All, I’m picking up a 2017 Hybrid Auris Estate this afternoon from my local dealer. Back in 2004, the 2nd generation Prius caught my attention and I test drove one with a great desire to own one. Sadly the boot space just didn’t cut it at the time with a young family. Fast forward to 2020 and I wanted to economise having run a Ford Kuga for a couple of years. It has given me an opportunity to revisit Toyota’s hybrids and my local dealer recommended an Auris estate over a Prius for our needs. I’m looking forward to joining this community and will leave you with a link to a website that does an excellent job of explaining Toyota’s hybrid technology. I’m sure many of you will find it a fascinating read: http://prius.ecrostech.com/original/PriusFrames.htm All the best, Tom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom.Kitchingman 1 Posted February 14 Thanks Gents. I’ve got the car now and I’m very pleased with it so far. I’ve even read the manual, which I haven’t bothered doing for previous cars that I can remember. There’s a good feeling about this car and can see it being a keeper.
