    That's 83,33 euro a month Herman.... my son has got a monthly bus-ticket for 113 euro ...comparing that a 260 is cheap....or am I fooling myself ..

    It sure is a lot of money to just have it standing on the road...is it cheaper in the UK? I have some roadtax-free cars as daily drivers (a Triumph 2000 Estate with LPG and a Datsun/Nissan Cherry) so that will save a lot of money ...

    At the end they can say about me: he drove a 260....always better then: he drove a economical Toyota Prius..

    actually what they say about the Prius is misleading - outside of city driving, eg motorway, the economy is appalling - you might as well be driving a 260!!! (based on the experience of someone I know who had one as a company car)

    Well, assuming the bus-ticket includes insurrance and fuel, which the 83 euro doesn't, I'd say yes.....................
