My wife had a drive of the Autocar Prius this week while her (our) BMW Z4 was in the shop. "Super-boring car" was her three-word review. I found that assessment harsh but, honestly, I'd started to have similar thoughts myself as it approached the 6,000-mile mark.
The latest Prius is designed to do one thing: be as efficient as possible. This is something it is very good at. But, like most things that are designed for one specific purpose, it can fall short in other areas - in this case how well it drives, especially on longer-distance journeys.
