One mini review we seem to be missing.

The Toyota Pious Cymru edition.

Is it so bad you swapped it back for the diesel Focus?

He'll never admit to the Pious being crap.

Well I did have a rib tickling chuckle when within weeks of someone
taking delivery it turned into a devastatingly outmoded last year's
model cross country missile. The new one looks a bit better, but still
shite compared to the Focus. But it does have a proper engine (1.8L) a
more powerful electric motor, more interior room, bigger boot and a
better electric-only option than last year's car.

It'll still handle like its on castors, ride like its on bricks and be
shite on fuel compared to a proper car. I'd rather have a Kia Ceed thing
than a Pious. You don't look as much of a cunt in a Ce'ed, and that's
saying something.

And yet I can't think of a more economical petrol auto with room for 5
people and some bags.

And remember kids, RAID is safe and the UPS never fails, and Cisco routers
never develop intermittent faults, and external hard drives never fail with
only a month's use, and the DNS is reliable and resilient, and the
mailserver is protected from all forms of attack, and the replacement UPS
will be reliable as the first one was an unusual failure.

Five people? Only if one is on a roof rack - when the mpg goes futz. And
by "bags" I presume you mean "sponge bags" because you're not going to
get five people's luggage into a Pious.

I got better mpg than a mate with a Pious in a Mondeo ST TDCi which did
Portsmouth to the North West and back to Portsmouth on less than a tank
of fuel, averaging 60mpg, the Pious managed 50mpg, had to fill up twice
and I reckon he was still lying through his teeth because he wouldn't
show me receipts.

Oh and the Mondeo did take five people and all their luggage the Pious
took one person. Even a BMW 520d gets better mpg than a Pious. Raising
the fact the Pious uses petrol is a canard, it's as vile as any
diseasel.

Only in town. On the open road it's poor.

A chap I work with gets about 51 or 52MPG overall out of his and that includes a reasonable amount of motorway driving. That's not bad at all for a petrol engined car of that size but not as good as the claimed figures , or as good as my Diesel Bravo for that matter - 57mpg on the last full tank (genuine not calculated)
