I'M THINKING of buying a car with low emissions. I need four doors and reasonable headroom and I like electronic things such as keyless entry, Bluetooth phone and satnav. I was considering the Toyota Prius hybrid petrol/electric.
THE only hassle with the Prius is the purchase price -- it's higher than an equivalent normal petrol-powered car. The Prius uses a normal, but smaller, petrol engine in conjunction with an electric motor, both of which provide the power under certain conditions. There is no need to plug the car in to recharge the batteries, which is taken care of automatically as you drive.
