Reasonably ubiquitous in the City but I would never use them. Because I am sure the cars are fuelled by smugness
Ahem, I drive a Prius (in fact I'm on my second after a Maserati totalled my first one parked on Exhibition Road while I made an omelette in my kitchen at home nearby but that's another story).
I pay no congestion charge, zero road tax, and yes I am very very smug thank you. Very smug indeed. Smugness pervades. However I make up for that by burning up 20-30 times more miles in the air than I drive each year in the forward-most cabin I can, by the longest route.
Wouldn't want to try putting three large suitcases in there though with two pax and a driver. Might be a bit cosy. With a couple of reasonably sized bags it should be OK. It's surprisingly comfortable once you've got over yourself. Indeed I often tell my driver to feel free to remove his sandles and Peruvian hat at his leisure when at cruise along the M4 towards the Royal Borough.
Cheers, Howard
