Oldest Hybrid owner?
What is the age of the oldest hybrid owner?
My mom just bought an Insight, and at age 69, she is the oldest hybird owner that I personally know.
How about you?

Haha, I really wouldn't think of an Insight as a good car for a senior citizen. Is it not a low and rough ride?

Actually, I tried to talk her out of it, but she really had her mind set on getting a hybrid. She appreciates the low entry/exit and likes smaller cars. She commented that she likes the ride a lot more than the Saturn she was previously driving.

One thing that worries me about the insight, and it could just be me being paranoid, but it is so tiny it might be hard for drivers to see on the road.

Blueskies,
I have not had problems with drivers seeng me. I figure if they other low, small cars they should be able to see an Insight.
kbert5,
Congratulations on your purchase. You've got my mom beat. I hope she's not, too disappointed.

oldest hybrider
When I saw this same thread last summer on the yahoo Prius 2-G site, one of the replies mentioned that his mother purchased a Prius and she was either 83 or 86 at that time--last spring.
