What is your opinion? Should I buy a hybrid or a regular car?

My considerations- Pros: Better for the environment and save money on gas Con: Gas savings not significant enough to warrant the higher price tag. I need a new car now, but keep delaying the purchase as I vacillate between hybrid or regular.

1. get a hybrid
2. You don't save enough on gas to justify the extra money you just spent on the car. By what you said your trying to convince yourself that's it's worth it but at the same time you know it's not. they don't get that great of mileage anyways.
3. HYBRID! It shows you care:)
4. hybrids are not yet economical. The only reason to get one would be to help the environment and make you feel better. It is up to you if that is worth it.
5. Hybrid!
6. there's a few models of gas and diesel cars that get around 50 mpg and cost a lot less, especially since you'd probably have to buy them used. VW Golf TDI for example.
7. get the hybrid do not get an SUV i hate us we buy big cars waste gas... and WONDER why the price of gas has gone up so much if everyone had a hybrid then the prices of gas would go down a little because the demand would go down you wouldn't have to fill up every week maybe only once a month i would go with the hybrid if i were you
8. Get the biggest SUV.Just to piss off the green freaks.
9. FYI Toyota makes all Hybrids. Some Info: Advantages of a Hybrid Car There are many advantages, firstly that they save gas. Merging the cleaner energy of an electric motor with the capacity of a gasoline engine allows a hybrid car to save as much as 30 miles a gallon. They are also environmentally friendly, giving out lower toxic emissions compared to conventional gas cars due to less gasoline being burned. It is environmentally friendly, and causes less pollution. Less carbon dioxide is also released into the atmosphere. Fuel Usage Nearly all hybrids still need to have gasoline and diesel as their solitary fuel resource although other fuels such as ethanol have also seen occasional use. A number of other hybrid vehicles use hydrogen fuel. Hybrid cars are starting to become more popular in America as more people are considering them as an option when purchasing a new car, but they are still relatively new to the car market. In future years even more hybrids will become available and it is perceived that hybrid cars will become a popular option as people become aware of how they can help the environment and save money at the same time.

10. If you drive a lot definitely a Hybrid. You should really check out the Toyota Prius. Everyone I know LOVES it. It is a great deal if you travel a lot. It is also good for the enviornment. AND it has sooooo many cool things that come with it. Not just a CD player but hook up for your ipod, navigational system and bluetooth built right in. It is an awsome car. I would call a Toyota dealership near you. If you happen to live in Northern California.....five of my friends bought there car from Downtown Toyota in Oakland and got a great deal. I went with one of them to help her decide on a color. The salesperson "Robbie" was really nice.
