I can tell you what the Prius is like.
And if you are doing intercontinental motorway driving, well it will be fine, and a reasonably pleasant place to be but that is not its strength.
So the economy won't be much above 55 or so if you shoosh gently along, or down to about 48 if you bean it. Don't think you'll do 70 and will just whizz up to 90 in two seconds, because you won't. You'll just make a noise like a jet fighter and look silly.
But drive to its strengths - around town, country roads, and it will pay back - quiet or silent, economy of over 60 achievable in summer, cheap to service, tax and fuel of course, and so on.
That's a T3 - no toys to speak of. T-Spirit has lots. That's either more to go wrong or more entertaining, your call.
Edit: cross posted with madf. Yes, they are Marmite cars. I'd never have anything not hybrid again, some people can't stand them. A test drive sorts that out.
