hybrids are slow.
Have fun replacing the batteries when they die. What you'll spend for that will more than make up for what you save in gas.
Besides if you're really into high fuel economy due to cost rather than being an environmental nut, you should look at a 1988-1991 Honda CRX HF. 45-50mpg without the fancy (and expensive) technology, and you can buy one for under 2 grand
If you want a car that can get out of it's own way, keep lookin' at the Tegs
(edit) there's a significant difference between mph and mpg. Amazing how that changed the meaning of my post
