Why buy a Hybrid?
There maybe extra benefits if you live or work within the London Road Charging Scheme, but not if you don't.
It doesn't offer that much of a saving in fuel for the extra costs of extendid ownership.
There is no major financial (as in Tax Holidays) benefit as a Private owner or company car user.
The 2.2 Diesel is much faster and much more fun.
The Body shape and Styling is Way Uncool !
The only car worth having as a Hybrid is the Lexus RX400h SUV as you win out on the cost of roadtax over any other 4x4.
