    Oof, no thanks. I don't think I could live with the looks alone.

    I can confirm that the likes of Prius are just not suited to motorway driving. I’ve had a few hybrid cars through Enterprise over the past few years and they are poor for motorway driving. The little engine just screams, the electric part is rarely used due to the speeds etc.
    Petrol economy wasn’t anything to write home about, always better in the non hybrid versions I had.

    Same here. My son has a 320d (F30) and gets 60+ mpg on motorway driving. Very comfortable and can shift if you need it too.:)
