Just reserved my Prius. Pleased as punch. There was a lot more work to do than any other car I've ever bought - there aren't many second hand, they go very fast and there's a lot to take into consideration. Oldbloke mentioned that these cars need to be used otherwise the battery can die. I checked it up and it appears to be true. I'm glad for this tip - I have been known to leave the car for weeks without using it! I'll know to take the Prius out for a spin even when I'm cycle commuting every day. Thanks for all your comments.
