A few Kias as well. The airport run crowd seem to be moving from the default Mercedes E class to the Mercedes EQE, although my last journey from LHR was in Tesla Model Y…and the less said about the ride quality in that the better!! http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=692243&v=e car4play692228 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 12:31:07 +0100 OP might find a Hyundai Ioniq hybrid for cheaper and in better nick than a Prius. Battery degradation is a bit of a myth. Just not happening in any kind of significant numbers. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=692228&v=e car4play692119 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 21:53:28 +0100 Those conditions are a 10,000 mile warranty granted with a main dealer service, up to a maximum mileage of 150,000. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=692119&v=e car4play692114 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 13:39:04 +0100 Most cars in my area area Most are Toyotas Auris/Corolla Estate Prius the odd CHR, Yaris Cross A few brand new Kia Hybrids The odd Skoda Octavia saloon and estates http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=692114&v=e car4play692113 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 13:14:45 +0100 Auris estate, taxi drivers run them to 250-300k miles. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=692113&v=e car4play692112 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:55:35 +0100 if you mean the drive battery Toyota will warranty that for up to 15 years subject to some conditions. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=692112&v=e car4play692111 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:52:28 +0100 for that money either an Auris estate or perhaps an Octavia estate. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=692111&v=e car4play692110 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 07:15:05 +0100 Toyota Corolla estate 1.8 I see lots of them used as taxis both locally and overseas http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=692110&v=e car4play692109 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 07:09:52 +0100 I’d forgotten about that, but wouldn’t any for sale now likely have their battery worn out? http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=692109&v=e car4play692108 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 07:04:36 +0100 Prius, easy! http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=692108&v=e car4play692107 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 07:01:30 +0100 I might be considering doing a bit of local taxi work, daytimes only. Not wishing to commit fortunes to a vehicle, what would the panel consider as an option? My target would be 5 seater (estate a bonus). Likely petrol. 7k ish. Thoughts please. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=692107&v=e
