Buy a Prius.....
Live near open roads GTI
Live in London Hybrid
I was in an Auris Hybrid for a hire car last week, and to sit in a traffic jam and move along in silence was pretty good, don't get me wrong it was sh1te to drive but it had BT/Traffic/Huge Aircon/comfy seats and 60mpg and would happily do 85 max on the rare occasion when the M6 wasn't solid
car enthusiasts are a minority, we are being legislated against and its only going to get worse.....
Don't fight it just buy a 1k smart car and this
