LOOKING for an eco-friendly car that will cater to all your driving and travelling needs? Look no further than to Automart for the 2007 Toyota Prius.

The 2007 Toyota Prius is a full-featured midsize car that just so happens to be the most fuel-efficient car on the market.

It has an outstanding gas mileage, low emission rate, a generous amount of interior room, easy to maneuver in limited spaces, excellent build quality and available at a reasonable price.

The Toyota Prius has a sport-tuned suspension, 16-inch alloy wheels, foglamps, xenon headlights and a larger rear lip spoiler.

It has a lot of room but is also more fuel-efficient and cleaner-burning with zero emission.

The Toyota Prius looks like no other car on the market and will allow its driver to make a personal and political statement.

The Toyota Prius consists of a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine paired with an electric-drive motor that draws power from a nickel-metal hydride battery pack (mounted under the car's rear hatch area) in its the setup.

It can drive up to 150 km maximum speed of 85 km/hr. A second electric motor functions solely as a generator, recharging the batteries.

The primary electric-drive motor can also re-juice the batteries, using energy recaptured during braking.

The Prius has the ability to operate under electric power alone at low speeds, which contributes to its low fuel consumption.

This intelligent car can switch on and off to battery and petrol when the need arises.

The Toyota Prius is a remarkably practical car to drive on a day-to-day basis. Its interior is spacious enough to accommodate a family of four in comfort, and a tight turning radius combined with light, electric-assist steering makes it extremely easy to maneuver in crowded urban areas.

If you want to wear your green commitment on your sleeve, though, there's no better choice for a hybrid car than the Toyota Prius.
