Lol welp I'm unexpectedly in the market for a car thanks to mine being totaled. I don't think I'm ready for a full on EV, but a hybrid seems to be the sweet spot. Curious to know goon experiences with them, plug in or not. Are they fun to drive, more maintenance, stuff like that.

I got a corolla hybrid a couple years ago. It's rated at like 52/53mph and I do get around that. I also started WFH around that time so I barely use any fuel. I've never bothered to check my receipts but I figure on a typical month I spend no more than $75 a month on gas.

I've got an old sonata hybrid that only gets about 35mpg but it's done well by me so far and it's performed unexpectedly well in subzero temps even if it complains about it

Someone stole the catalytic converter from my Prius because apparently they’re the easiest to steal. New ones are back ordered for at least 6 months.

We got a 2017 Prius. We just traded in an 08 prius for a Kia Serento and I kinda miss the fuel savings of the old Prius. But beware, the horn is very weak and not intimidating at all.

My mom drives a Prius and I've driven it a few times. It's got some zip to it, and the 40mpg or whatever it gets is extremely worth it. Make sure you get a "Cool Prius! -Everybody" decal for the back if you get one too.

In college, and this is 30 years ago, there was a hybrid club/team you could volunteer for. I didn't do it, but friends did and I'd swing by their lab on a regular basis. They did amazing things. The main propulsion was a helicopter turbine. They got about 25 mpg in town, but 80 mpg on road trips. The team took it to a competition in the mid-west and won the blue ribbon. The battery pack was small, only 500-600 lbs. The funny stories include the first time they started it up. Had the back wheels on those roller supports so they could fire it up in the shop without going anywhere. It went from 0-60 in about 3 seconds. Oops. Completely sheared the axle, and I don't mean it fell apart; it literally tore the metal apart. Just splintered it. The mechanical engineers on the team were all "maybe we got a gear ratio wrong". On the way back from the competition the team, 6 of them crammed into this car, they were passing through Nevada and decided to see what it could really do for speed. On a straightaway of about 13 miles they hit 120 mph. They were promptly pulled over by a state trooper. The lead on the team spoke with the cop and told him what they were doing, and developing, and testing. The cop was so impressed he let them off with a warning to drive slower. In general, I'm a big fan of hybrids, more so than electrics or fossils.

The Prime has a bigger electric motor in it and is a PHEV. They are super hard to get as some dipshit at Toyota thinks they should make about a thousand per year. I have a regular Rav4 Hybrid, and it is a ok vehicle. It does nothing exciting and gets good mileage.
