hybrids are a huge scam! Why is it in 1979 they had cars getting over 50 mpg and now you need a hybrid to not even reach that!!!!! its all a scam for us to pay more money! and how will you dispose of the batteries when they are used up? and how much does the electrical cost to charge the batteries! sure you save a little on gas but spend 2 times as much on electricity!
mmmm… the Mercury Mariner. It’s a roomy SUV, not too big, great interior AND it comes as a hybrid! I LOVE it.
Lord Dark whatever is an idiot, you don’t use electricity to charge the batteries, they charge themselves as you drive (when braking, etc.). They do not plug in at all (although “plugin” hybrids will come one of these days).
The Prius is the best hybrid out there, simply because it’s the only one (not counting the tiny Insight) that was designed from the outset to be so. The other sedans have compromised trunk space to make room for the batteries, so the Prius has more trunk space than Camry, Altima, or Civic hybrids.
One thing to consider – if you drive mostly on the highway, hybrids are probably not worth it (you’ll never recoup the higher price at the pump), you’ll see most have better city ratings than highway. If that’s the case, better just to get a Civic, Fit, Corolla, whatever.
My favorite hybrid cars:
-Toyota Prius
-Toyota Camry Hybrid
-Nissan Altima Hybrid
-Toyota Highlander Hybrid
My favorite hybrid is the Honda Insight because it was the first Hybrid and it still has the best gas mileage in the world with up to 66mpg.
