Dont you think that in perfect world if you had somehing you really liked you'd drive it /use it as often as you could.

Thumbs up on hybrid choice though, i will never get one but if i had to i think id go with an Insight. Its bit ugly from some angles but pretty cool inside. I've driven one and its not as bad as it might appear to some people.
hey more power to you,i could afford to drive one of my turbo cars but with my commute (60 mile one way), its just killin my cars, i used to commute with a turbo teg and it sucked in traffic, especially with a stage 4 unsrpung clutch lol, i use to drive what i wanted daily then, i went to cheap beaters, not i'm 100% content with drivin the insight to and from work, plus its a 5 speed so its kinda fun to drive, in a perfect world i would never even thought of driving one much less owning one, but unfortunately the world is far from perfect
