Gayle... i am not sure if i have mentioned but i have a Toyota Auris Hybrid, i have had mine from new and i bought it last October. It takes some getting used to, well it did for me as i have never driven an automatic car before, now i never would go back.

I just love love love it and the mpg i get is just brilliant, i am getting 58 average on my clock, so am very happy with that. It is a challenge to keep your mpg up, and there are little things you can do to raise them, like when going down hill, keep foot off accelerator completely, also do this whenever you can - your mpgs will go up as you get used to the car.

Your car looks lovely, i do like it in red too, me i chose to have the white, with tinted windows, and i got top spec T-Spirit model, with a few extras added on, mats and silver door scuff trims etc. Do you have the reversing camera in your rear view mirror? I love that.
