Green car is dream car - poll
The hybrid electric Toyota Prius is not only tops for being a "green" car but is also the vehicle drivers are most happy with, a major customer-satisfaction survey revealed today.
The ultra-low emission vehicle was the highest-ranking model in a UK vehicle satisfaction survey from information company JD Power and Associates and What Car? magazine.
The Prius scored 901 points out of a possible 1,000 in a survey of more than 16,000 car owners who had had their vehicles for an average of two years.
A total of 100 models were assessed for four measures of satisfaction - quality and reliability, vehicle appeal, dealer service satisfaction and ownership costs.
After the Prius, the next highest mark - of 872 - went to the Honda Jazz, with the Lexus IS scoring 861.
Skoda
The top manufacturer - as opposed to the top individual model of vehicle - was Lexus which scored 866 points, with Skoda second on 846, Honda third on 844 and Toyota fourth on 836.
At the bottom of the list were Fiat (744 points), Mitsubishi (775) and Chevrolet (779).
What Car? editor Steve Fowler said: "The Prius already has iconic status because of its green credentials; now it's demonstrating that it's also the watchword for reliability and satisfaction."
