A Hybrid by definition means that you have both an electrical drive and combustion engine drive. It would be difficult to believe that with this complexity will come high cost to maintain. The people who have had to pay for repairs (higher mileage over warantee) rationalize the higher costs by all the so called savings they are getting. However if you feel paying list (likely over $30K) for a hybrid car is good deal, its a matter of choice. Me I look at data and numbers and don't see the economics. There have been quite a few reviews and analysis published to give you information to act on. Replies to this message: terry92270 (Sep 18, 2006 11:58 pm)

Replying to: karport (Sep 18, 2006 7:30 pm) Maybe you need to read more. Even Consumers Union has reversed itself, and now says Hybrids like the Prius and Camry will save anyone money. You can get a Prius OR Camry Hybrid well under 30K....check Edmunds.
