Nice.

Only thing I have against it, is its too expensive. And don't rush in here saying that its less expensive than that car or this car. I wont buy any car that is that expensive. So for me it all comes down to finances

Yeah, I can't afford one either.

What I cannot understand is why it takes so long for even Toyota to respond to market demand. Can you imagine if they were to produce a Yaris-based hybrid running the existing 1000cc Yaris engine with enough battery capacity to cover 50 kays on batteries alone and then spec it with just the basics (aircon, airbags and power steering) and sell the whole thing for around R180k. They'll make money like you won't believe.

I would buy one.

The good news is there's a Honda Jazz hybrid on the way that will apparently not have much of a price premium of a normal Jazz.
