Hybrids only make sense if the majority of your driving is in stop and go city traffic, or very short trips. Most dealers will ask for proof on insurance before letting you test drive. Insurance cost - get quotes, too many variables to answer.
Yes! If your thinking of buying a hybrid car eventually, you might as well buy it now and not have to pay for an additional car in between.
Now is the best time. Learn all you can about hybrid cars before you buy! http://www.hybirdcarzone.info
i wouldnt bother, the cheapest hybrid that you can get new is like $20000 maybe higher, you can get a nice corolla or cobalt or something else that is also fuel efficient and is much cheaper
You dont have to be insured to take the test, but the car has to be (which means someone in your family has to insure it under their name). Teen car insurance ranges from what car you drive, what your GPA is and how new your car is. Expect about 200-400 dollars a month for a new car. And personally, i dont think you should buy a hybrid. Right now, hybrids are virtually impossible to get ahold of, and the hybrid technology is advancing every day. In the next two years, Plug in hybrids are going to take over the hybrid market, so wait for that. As of right now, try getting a small, safe, fuel efficent car. A few good cars would be: Scion tC Scion xB Toyota Corolla Honda Civic Honda Fit Nissan Sentra VW Rabbit VW Jetta Mazda 3 good luck!
