Of course, diesel emissions are a big thing recently, and deservedly so, but the 107 was petrol and I could exceed the Pious easily. Well, actually with difficulty because it was a fun car to drive and hoon about, and if a Petrol 107 is using less fuel than a Pious it's creating less emissions. Had the Pious for 4 years and 70,000 miles, can only speak as I find. Oh, and the Peugeots, despite their slightly flaky reputation over here, were faultless and showed no inclination for the cars structure to corrode.

For all the wizardry the Prius wasn't delivering anything remarkable. Owned them all alongside at the same time, doing the same journeys, that's how it was. If I had to do it again and choose between the 2 I'd take the Pious for comfort, but the 107 for deliverable 'real world' (I hate that term) economy. Still, both would beat the Camaro I had when I was working in the US.
