Nic G-
Congrats on seeking information before making a hefty purchase! We may publish a write-up on this matter in the future, as there’s a lot to consider. Here’s a few of the pros and cons.
Some pros:
- Reduction of green house gases!
-Maximum fuel efficiency
- In cities (especially where polllution tends to be a bigger problem) hybrid cars can make even more of a difference because they produce less emissions during low speed city driving and traffic jams.
-Peace and quiet! I’ve rented hybrids on vacations and am always pleased by how quietly they run.

A few cons:
- Though hybrids are the most gasoline efficient of all cars, they have a higher price tag than conventional cars and experts say it can take 5-8 years to recoup the difference
-Another conisderation is if involved in an accident the hybrid’s electric motor can make it difficult for you to get out of the vehicle because of the risk of electrocution.

Good luck!
Beth

I am over due for a new car and was thinking about getting a hybrid. Can you offer any advice on the pros and cons of owning this type of vehicle? Thanks!
