Prius - the cold facts - RobertJS
Been thinking seriously about a Prius for next car. But with the winter in mind, and reading how it can be driven off without needing the petrol engine, I take it that the heating system doesn't require it either? In which case, is this the early starter's holy grail of instant heat from the word go?

Indeed - so it takes about a mile then which is pretty fast. (Apparently it stores hot coolant in a thermos to help with heating the engine up!) There seems to be quite a high level of user satisfaction with the car and can imagine it being easy to sell on a few years down the line too. Also heard a rumor about diesel and sport editions...?
