That is not always feasable for people.
When I bought our 2007 Camry XLE the Hybrid Camry was not out yet.
I have had a Prius for a loaner all weekend once.
It is good on mileage but a horrible 'ride'.
I would NEVER buy a used one.
I would want brand new batteries with a full warranty.
All Electric Cars are not really in the market place in the States.
Not anything worth owning. People have converted their Priuses to all electric but, that can cost up to $15K to do.
In my opinion the Camry Hybrid is the best over all Family Car out there.
My best friend has one. In fact I was the one that got him a good deal on it.
Our Camry XLE is fairly good on mileage. Highway is around 32mpg and if I 'milk it' I can get 35mpg.
My older 2000 Buick Park Ave can get 32mpg on the freeway too. That is if I drive no more then 60mph with it.
Not everyone can just swap out their cars. It is expensive.
Personally for me and my wife we enjoy a good 'riding' car.
Our Buick and Camry are both very nice to ride in.
I have a bad back and I need the comfort I get from the cars I have.
