A friend is considering buying a hybrid and asked my opinion. I gave her some references, but I thought I'd ask for opinions here. Cost, operating expenses, and reliability are three areas of interest.
My friend has a RAV4 Hybrid and loves it. He gets his best mileage just driving around locally vs. highway. Personally I like the idea of a Hybrid much better than all electric. The car charges itself via braking so uses physics to charge its own battery. Now there will be a day to replace that battery but it is cheaper than the huge all electric car batteries.
