i do not own a hybrid car. i did testdrive a few when i was buying my new one. the main problem i saw was that they turn off at stoplights, to save energy. this is great, except it turns off your AC, your music, and your lights... the benefit is of course the gas-saving. also a tax break which i think you cna still get. however, they are not cheap.
honestly, if you asked my oppinion, which iwill give you regardless, as you know, i'd get a Hyundai if i were you (and it was my first car, which i loved). They are econo cars, they are exceptional at having great gas-milage, and they are under 10K. you can not find a cheaper car that doesn't suck... (i had a hyundai accent '99. it ran liek a wonder, and i only don't have it because SOMEONE drove it intoa pickup...)
