    Not Toying Around: 5 Reasons To Love The Modern Toyota Prius

    Hybrid cars are no longer the future of motoring; they are very much the present. As such, more and more drivers are turning their attention to greener vehicles every single year. So when you’re in the market for your next vehicle, there’s a very strong chance that you’ll be eager to drive down this avenue. If you do, you will almost certainly come across the Toyota Prius.

    The Prius has undoubtedly been one of the key players in the popularity growth of hybrid and electric cars. That doesn’t necessarily make it a model that you should consider. However, these five factors do…

     #1. Price

     As with any new technology, the main fear of most consumers revolves around cost. Opt for the rapid supercars, and there’s a very good chance that you’ll be paying through the roof for your hybrid or electric vehicle. However, the 2017 Prius Prime starts at only $27k. Opt for a slightly used alternative, and you can find an even greater deal. We all have budgets to stick to. Knowing that yours won’t be blown away by the purchase is certainly a key selling point.   

    #2. Safety

     Before worrying about the protection of the environment, you should consider your personal well being on the road. As well as receiving great results at official safety testing, the Prius was also named WhatCar’s safest drive of 2017. Of course, you’ll still want car insurance and car accident lawyers to support you. Nonetheless, the awards received tell you everything you need to know about the safety of your passengers as well as yourself.   

    #3. Eco-Friendliness

     If you’re going to choose a greener car, you might as well choose one that actually serves that purpose well. Upgrading to a car that barely makes a positive impact is pointless. The Prius C has been winning awards for efficiency since 2012. So even if you opt for a slightly older version, you’ll be doing your bit for the planet. Progressions in technology from the Japanese manufacturing giant keep the Prius family at the top table of the fuel economy game.   

    #4. Performance

     The harsh reality of the hybrid arena is that vehicles won’t provide the same pleasures as traditional motors. However, Toyota has made huge efforts to improve the ride. The latest Prius boasts a better engine that offers greater e-torque while the brakes are vastly improved. Still, for the average city driver, the latest releases are perfectly suited for daily driving activities. At the very least, these models are far better than some of the comparable releases from other manufacturers.

     #5. Choice

     As one of the pioneers in the hybrid playing field, the Prius is one of the most common models on the market. Over 3.9 million units have been sold worldwide, meaning that you’ll never struggle to find a great option on either the used or new marketplace. Likewise, the extensive choice of colors and interior elements are a joy to behold for most drivers. After all, you still deserve a car that puts a smile on your face. With those simple personal touches, this should not be an issue.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
