Pretty good those Hybrid Camrys Lester.. :victory:
I've got a new i30 diesel with auto while a relative owns a Prius C. In urban driving I am averaging 5L/100km while he is doing between 3.4 and 3.6L/100km (depending on weather).
But in country driving the diesel is clearly superior. On the same 320km drive I averaged 4.2L/100km while the Prius C consumed 5.4. The Prius has never made sense for long highway and country drives. There diesel rules supreme. In urban stop start traffic a hybrid is better. Each has its own strengths.
Driving enjoyment? I love the shove of the i30 diesel and enjoy driving it more than the Prius C. The Prius has almost as much torque as the i30, but it's always reliant on the battery to provide most of it. If the battery goes down to half capacity the torque feed gets cut off and now the battery is just dead weight while the diesel keeps pulling as well as ever.I had two camry hybrids with plenty of torque, but found the prius c very anemic by comparison.
