I can't see for the life of me why that post was made in the part of the forum which any Hybrid owners would possibly turn to first. And of course all non hybrid owners then jump on the bandwagon. I therefore refuse to take the bait and refuse to justify the purchase of my car, which, a year later, I am still extremely happy with and which has cost very little to run, insure, tax and service. I don't give a monkeys about being environmentally friendly, but I do care about my pocket. At the end of the day, millions of people buy millions of cars every year, and it's up to them what they buy, and pointless posts intending to get a reaction from owners of cars different to theirs is just childish and pathetic.

There, I took the bait after all. Hope you're happy.

I hope you did`nt take my post to be "childish and pathetic" as it was posted out of interest to gain knowledge of the owning of a hybrid and the opinion of the owner, surely a main point of this forum.
