    Hybrid cars - expensive to maintain?

    Interesting question, not much data on it that I can find. There is a wee article here which suggests it is rare but I think they are talking more about faulty batt packs than old and worn... I am at my dealer on Friday, I'll ask him.

    Hybrid cars - expensive to maintain?

    Knife handle advice needed
