[quote=nicokpe;138811]As opposed to reviews regarding hybrid cars, owning one is not that simple. For most drivers of hybrid vehicles, it is not easy being the center of attention. This is proven each time they get behind the wheel.

Driving a hybrid is a personal statement...]

Personal statement? Not me. I bought one mostly because I'm a 'techie' (EE by trade) and I liked the technology. I've found the car to be fun to drive and have not run into anything negative from other drivers. I do very little hybrid driving (or whatever you want to call it) and still manage to get 38-39 mpg. This and other features like the stereo and Bluetooth have made the 2-2.5 hours I spend driving every day bearable. Life is good.
