Some prius models are awd.
Hmmm...I've got one and I've never heard that before?
Surprised the owners haven't complained about them doing similar MPG to an AMG Mercedes or similar, or, maybe, just maybe they do more than 21 MPG ? Like the 50/60/70 owners seem to report ?

Yes, because that is all they ever do to the gallon and its nothing to do with being moved round a forecourt and not being used on the road.

I find the visceral hatred EVs and hybrids seem to provoke in some people very strange, to the point I wonder if the blokes that develop them go round the homes of various middle aged men every weekend and do their wives up the wrong 'un while Nigel is trying to watch Antiques Roadshow.Surprised the owners haven't complained about them doing similar MPG to an AMG Mercedes or similar, or, maybe, just maybe they do more than 21 MPG ?

It's just another Toyota but developed for a different job to some of the other Toyotas, a job at which it excels. Just like every other Toyota.

If you keep shunting cars around short journeys in and out the workshop / car dealer etc those monitors all do that especially if the refresh rate of the instrument is frequent
Surely in short your knees it uses the battery
if its charging its going to use fuel and more of it

Yep exactly that... It was sold damaged through a salvage website by the Clio drivers insurer, then repaired and sold on a forecourt looking all shiny.

I wonder who owns it now. I see it’s currently taxed and MOT’d. Would be a bit of a sickener to find out about the crash after you’d bought it. Given the timescale it was all done in, there's no way it was repaired properly, as some parts were on a six month lead time, unless they had a donor car.
Are there any checks that can be done to see if a car has been damaged and repaired?
It also taught me that most insurance companies are a
holes, and the value of GAP cover.
My insurer phoned me to say "It's going to take six months to repair, so your car hire charges effectively write the car off". I thought great, I didn't want it back after the prang anyway, and if its written off my policy gives 'new for old', so I'll get a new car.
But no... You only get new for old if the car is written off, and the repair value exceeds 60% of the value of the car - which it didn't. So they made me a derisory pay out offer.
Hence why I then blew my insurers out, and did a deal with the third party's insurer.

There’s a site called vcheck that specialises in finding these cars. Are there any checks that can be done to see if a car has been damaged and repaired?
If you’re curious there’s a Facebook page that posts cars for sale that have undisclosed damage, some look fairly minor, some are wrecks.
