Was at my Kia/Toyota dealer today having recall work done on the cee'd brakes, when demo versions of the Kia Sportage and Toyata Auris Hybrid were delivered. Sportage was quickly whisked away, so didn't get a good look - instant verdict - make sure you order rear parking sensors because the rear window appears minute. Given the delivery delays on the similar iX35, I think you'll be waiting a long time for one.
The Auris looked impressive - the first of the hybrids not to shout "look at my green credentials" - just some discrete change of badges from the normal Auris (is there a more anonymous car?). Also the same drive train as the Prius but in a lighter body and a lower price. Boot appears to be small at first glance but there is a very large and deep underfloor tray
Ah! So many choices.
