Pros and Cons of Hybrid Cars

Exclusive Summary About Pros and Cons of Hybrid Cars By Kenneth C. Hoffman

In general, hybrid cars get twenty per cent better mileage than regular cars but cost $3000 more. I have noticed that most hybrid cars are bought by highly educated people whose reasons for buying a hybrid include

1.- owning a high efficiency car,

2.- the latest in technology,

3. - owning something different, and

4.- doing something to help the oil problem.

One concern of the prospective hybrid buyer is the cost of battery replacement when needed. Check out the separate battery warrantee supplied by the dealers.

Features like heated seats, ice free mirrors, automatic heat controls and steering wheel audio buttons. On the con side, most hybrids weigh slightly more than their gas cousins and most designers were forced to give up the folding rear seat backs for battery space. The jack rabbit start drivers bemoaned the fact that the new hybrid vehicles were supplied with a comparatively small gas engine to accompany the electric motor.

As everyone knows, hybrid vehicles get better gas mileage than non-hybrids. Hybrid vehicles also help the environment by reducing emissions that cause global warming. Hybrid cars are hard to resell. Hybrid vehicles need special parts that are not sold by all companies, as non-hybrid car parts are. The replacement parts for hybrid vehicles tend to be much more expensive as well.

This means that repairs to hybrid vehicles must be done by those with more specialized training than the average mechanic has, making the repair price higher for hybrids than non-hybrids.

A benefit of buying a new hybrid vehicle is that you may be eligible for a tax break on your federal income taxes of up to $3,000.
