A hybrid car, which has an electric motor and a gasoline engine, and as a result, twice as many things to go wrong as a normal car. Bought for $27,000 by people who want to save money, who forget that someday, down the road, those batteries will need to be replaced and will cost over $5,000.
I got a good deal on a used Prius, but can't drive it yet because it needs more than it's blue book value in batteries
