My SO and I are looking to buy a car (ours just died... RIP) and would be interested in looking at a hybrid. It would have to be a car good for commuting and reasonably priced. Most of the new hybrids we've seen are simply out of our price range but we'd consider used if it has low mileage. Just a bit scared of hybrids because some have the reputation of being "buggy". Can't go through that again. There's no way to get around here without a car.
