Moley An auto for a driving school, that cant be a good business choice
I have a six month waiting list for automatic clients. My Nissan Micra's normally do about 120,000 miles every three years. I'm a busy boy Moley. I hate the job now but it keeps me out of trouble.
I think I will pick up a brocure over the weekend and have a look.

It depends what fuel consumption you get with the current micra as to how much you'll save. Our Prius isn't driven particularly frugally but generally returns 45-50 mpg, the auris being lighter and with the newer hybrid system should be better I'd think.
And from what I remember of how I drove as a learner driver the mpg should be fantastic - really light on the throttle, driving most of the time at 29mph, perfect conditions for a hybrid :biggrin:
Marsdendean Really don't like this auris. The 3 door ones, the doors are the lengh of the car, feels like a greenhouse inside because the windows are that big, really don't like them, and i would no way spend £18K on a car!Yeah I don't like the auris either but I don't think it's aimed at people like us - as with most Toyotas it's aimed at people who just want to get from a to b.
Do you mean you wouldn't pay £18k for an auris, or £18k full stop for any car?

Yeah quite a few down here have auto only licences - no offence intended but from the people I know that did it most of them are women.........

Servicing is cheap also - even at main the dealer, so I suppose thats another saving the 3SGTE would have needed 3 services in the same time the Prius needs 1 service, could that knock the savings to 5K a year.

14-05-2018, 08:30 AM #25Our Prius returns a regular 52MPG, with the tax saving and insurance saving it saves me £4500 a year in basic running costs over the IS200, in 2 years it will have paid for itself in running costs alone. I calculated the saving on our normal weekly mileage and didn't take into account extra trips (days out, shows, visiting the in-laws, holidays etc).

Marsdendean If i had £18,000 i would spend it all day long on a car, just not an Auris hybrid!!
Ok that makes more sense now, and yeah I agree, the auris isn't something I'd buy (but then neither is any Toyota really)
