Nicely done. It's a great idea to put his view/ her view together.

Well done kids. As you stated, hybrids are not for everyone. But, it's nice to have an alternative option. I personally enjoy the silent torque experienced at launch and exceptional in-city fuel economy. Take care.

I'm really enjoying my 2015 2.0t. Prolly would've gotten the 2016 hybrid, but it still ain't out yet (bummer) :0(

Hello Hyundai Hybrid Car Experts, I am considering a reliable, efficient, luxurious, practical, budget friendly hybrid (and possible plugin) to replace by 2008 high mileage high maintenance 5 series BMW. I know hybrids don't compare to the 300 hp power BMW, but I am willing to get a more reliable high mpg car since I drive a lot with a ride sharing company. Here is my question to if I buy a certified or low mileage (20K or less) used Hyundai Sonata Hybrid or Plug in Limited Model from Hyundai Dealership or CarMax would the 100K battery and powertrain warranty or any car manufacturer warranty be voided for the second owner? Is there still any kind of rebate for hybrids as a second owner that lives in Nevada? Is there an financial advantage to buying new, as I am not too hot about biting the depreciation cost? Thanks and appreciate your input. Future Hybrid owner

+Prvt N Vegas here are a few things to consider. You need to find out from the manufacturer if the warranty is transferable, this will depend on the year make and model of the vehicle as well as the mileage. If you're looking for a high-performance plug-in hybrid there really aren't many options other than a BMW i8 which doesn't make sense. The most popular hybrid would be the Toyota Prius, however it is not a plug-in in the Honda is a larger vehicle and might fit your needs. Also take a look at some of the Ford products they really done a lot of research and have quality vehicles as well as VW. Many states, and I believe Nevada, only allow for the tax credit on a new purchase. So make sure to do your research with the state, local area and any other potential discounts before making a decision. Another thing to consider is insurance costs so make sure to investigate that before making a final decision.
