Great evaluation!
Thanks for the insight. I have a freind who bought a Honda hybrid after he saw Al Gore’s movie. He also told me the batteries have to be replaced after 7 years at a cost of $2000[canadian dollars]. Not trying to discourage anyone but anything environmental is obviously going to cost extra money for the technology. I definitely support the direction car manufacturers are going in.

I should probably mention that the first-five-minutes suckage is relative—it tends to be in the 20–25 MPG range—but yeah, if that’s the main thing you’d be driving it for, you might as well stick with something cheaper that gets 20–30.

I’ll ask about it when I take the car in for maintenance, though, in case it turns out not to be normal.

Thanks for the stats; aside from my recent car headache, I’m not really thinking about getting a new car any time soon, but if I was I was thinking about hybrids. But I only drive for about 5-10 minutes at a stretch (best. commute. ever.) and I figured that would be all on the electric part since it’s low speed – I didn’t know about the warm up. Glad you like it, though!
