The train car sharing is possible: In the Berlin Hauptbahnhof wait several Toyota Prius plug-in vehicles on customers. To buy the Prius, there are 3 plug-in yet - and it offers the cost car sharing to the web as an ideal test fleet. Plug-in means that the Toyota is loaded to the socket about 1 1 / 2 hours with its battery and then go up to 20 miles. Then switches the petrol engine and electric and gasoline engine operate together (hybrid operation). The result is impressive: 136 hp, fuel consumption convince the four liters, and very low levels of pollutants. For us to a new family car in May 2011. So far, the Prius hybrid or the Golf Plus Bluemotion diesel and automatic transmission in the shortlist. I therefore take this opportunity for a short test of the plug-in version, after I had test driven a few days ago the somewhat boring all the world golf cart-Plus.
It is impressive when the Prius losrollt silent. Before the start but the foot parking brake must be solved and this is not the first time easy. Overall 20 km rolls of electric Prius. My Prius was, however, after about ten to twelve kilometers weak and the engine is turned off completely added calmly. The Prius glides, if not the annoying rattle would be. A noise source was found near the glove compartment, the second source rattling right rear in the trunk. So stop and search everything thoroughly - without success. With such extremely quiet cars like the Prius, such as extreme noise going on my nerves. Overall, makes the interior a futuristic, but not high-quality impression. Very subjective to me rattling noises appear in the Prius interior face of the many little cheap looking plastic parts is not entirely groundless. My thoughts to boring golf, here in the interior was all precious and rattle-free.
A Effekthauscher is not just the Prius. The car is overall unremarkable and the design is not eye-catcher. The fact that the car rolled silently is perceived, given the traffic noise in Berlin's trendy district Prenzl mountain barely.
After the Prius now in "power mode" to the Eco-mode 50 PS perceived growing steadily, it will now go on the highway. The navigation system worked relatively straightforward and is easy to operate. Only two functions were for more than two hours drive not figure out: How do I turn route guidance again? And how do I increase the volume of the navigation information? The guidance can be interrupted and on, but the reference to off I can not find. The somewhat quiet voice information could not be adjusted in volume. What is feasible at each Navi by turning the volume during the announcement is, the Prius is nil. Sure there is a solution, only it is hidden in the seemingly well-Navi. Since I praise the bore-VW Golf. Click each button is where it belongs - just boring. 
The Prius is never boring, the display is great cinema. You can use the electric currents in the hybrid stylized track statistician for the Bezinverbrauch calculated and evaluated after each trip and the simplest indicator shows whether you win energy wasted during braking and acceleration. The steering wheel felt a little too deep seated and only limited adjustment. The seats are ok but not as crisp and comfortable as the Volkswagen. Another downside is the suspension. It works with short hopping bumps and is not up to the supreme comfort of the Gulf. 
Nevertheless - the Prius is a car with a bold concept for the future. Prius drivers are very happy after all the tests and their vehicles. Without the Prius hybrid, however, would be certainly difficult to sell. are tests with all technical data abound on the Internet, so I have omitted repetitions and only my impressions of the subkektiven little more than two-hour test drive described. There is no clear comparison test with the golf car it in the newspaper online .
