Our youngest was buying a hybrid, looking at 3 models. He lives in Louisville, and drives 4,000 miles a year. Two of the dealers had exactly what he was looking for, however both dealers suggested he go with a non hybrid, do to the lack of miles, and the maintenance for the car.

Third dealer was BMW, which is what he drives now. Salesman didn’t try to sway him either way. His older brother, weighed in, owning a hybrid, and drives less than 4000 per year. His 2 cents, no hybrid, not enough miles to make a difference, and those Multiple batteries has to go to a landfill.
