We have a Toyota Auris (or whatever it's called) at work as a runaround and it's quite a nice car. It's very smooth to drive with no gear changing, it must have the old Daf Variomatic tranny, and very fast for a small engined car.
The downside would be being a private purchaser as it's not any more economical than a good small diesel and there's still the problem of how long the batteries will last if you intended keeping it for a long time as we tend to do.
