Review Hybrid Cars

I am interested in a hybrid, but I don't completely trust their mechanics. Is it really going to worth the money if I have to buy a new engine for a hybrid car just after 3 years or so? I mean what is the reliability going to be for hybrid cars out now in the future?

You've got it backwards. Hybrids have 2 engines (a small gas engine and an electric motor), so they're actually each doing less work than an engine in a non-hybrid. Electric motors are also extremely reliable because they have no moving parts that can break.

So basically in a non-hybrid you've just got a gas engine with lots of moving parts that can break. In a hybrid you've got a small gas engine that does much less work, so it's less likely to break.

In reality hybrids are lower maintenance than non-hybrids for reasons like this. They also require oil changes just every 5,000 miles, and the regenerative braking system saves the brake pads.

Maintenance doesn't cost any more than a non-hybrid. In fact, the warranties on hybrids are really good, so if you need a repair it will probably be free.

There's really no good reason not to buy a hybrid at this point. Every Prius owner I've talked to loves their car. It saves on gas, benefits the environment, is low maintenance, and will have a high resale value.
