Alan had never driven a Toyota Prius, so in an effort to find out more about hybrids, he spent a day with Richard Seymour of Toyota GB talking about alternatively-fuelled vehicles and finding out if the Prius really lives up to its stereotype on the roads.

This Special Edition is a bit long, so here are points you may want to scroll to:-

0.00.00 Hybrid-based discussion

0.40.40 Yaris Hybrid drive

0.59.05 Lexus RX 400h drive

1.07.48 Prius Plug-In drive

1.29.20 Prius Mk1 drive

Thanks to Richard and Steve of the Toyota Press Garage for their help. To find out more about Toyota hybrid and hydrogen vehicles visit the Toyota GB website.
