Finished test driving the Scion today. I've narrowed it down to a used prius or used/new honda civic hybrid. I've come to the conclusion that a hybrid can save me something money can't buy...Time... Pictures up when when I purchase (most likely this weekend next weekend at late). Thanks for all the input.
A used hybrid would not be my first choice... has a used battery pack which is a very costly part on those cars. Know how a laptop battery life gets worse and worse over time? Same logic. But good luck with the vehicle, car shopping can be a pain.
Hybrids are all gimmicks at the mo, better off sticking to a fuel efficient car like a diesel that can do 40-50mpg
Boooooooought the sucker today. I ended up with this lovely 2k5 Civic hybrid. The car is pretty much brand new with only 14k miles. Its also on extended warranty until 2011 or before 100k miles so i won't haveta worry about shit breaking down . I purchased this gal through a dealer which totaled about 17K USD...came with almost all the options. I drove the car straight to a car audio shop afterwards to have a GPS/dvd player installed. Can't wait glide through that carpool lane
well its good to see Honda with their first fuel cell small car (thats not concept)... we shuld b expecting these on the roads of Japan soon Honda FCX: http://www.nihoncarandbike.com/news-286-Honda+FCX+Fuel+Cell+Test+Drive,+HDTV.html
I have clients to drive around once in awhile I can't have them in a bike. What about rain and safety issues? -nono
What kind of accent is that.....? Also batteries are powered through powerplants...and power plants get their power from fossil fuel....
well a fuel cell is technically not a battery.. but yes ur right.. in the end its fossil fuels being used up, but with these fuel cell cars we will have cleaner air around the cities where it is most populated.. a fuel cell car is really not that bad... it may pay off in the long term.. especially wen petrol prices are so high nowadays..
^ fuel cells come from hydrogen, which needs electricity to get it (i think). Anyways you can always get the electricity from not polluting sources such as hydro power, wind and to an extent nuclear
