Re: V6 or Hybrid?
Damn Buster! I'm sensing some anger in that font! Did a hybrid hurt you as a child???
J/K... The battery replacement does scare me... you're right... Prius's have records of running for 200k+ without having anything replaced, but I have heard of it being done just over 100K.... The cost is going down though, and I work for crooks, so they hook fellow crooks up on labor (plus my brother in law is a mechanic if I ever have to get a real job)... and in this case its only a 1500 dollar premium for the hybrid over the 4cyl. model... In the case of the highlander hybrid, I completely agree... you pay 5 grand up front for maybe 6-7 mpg... you'll never recover the cost... they're just for people who want to be green... Ive been reading at toyotanation.com and priuschat.com and consumers, along with edmunds, motor trend, etc... have all gotten very vvery close to the sticker mileage... which would make it about a 10mpg difference above the 4cyl...
