Some folks told me that you can’t sell your hybrid car after it has been used for a while, and they reckon the battery becomes useless after just a few years. And what is more, it costs BIG money to replace the battery.

After all is said and done, should I still buy a Toyota Prius or a Honda Civic in order to save gas?

Are there many hybrids on the market that seat a minimum of 5 (sometimes more) and are safe/dependable? Any suggestions?

I hear that you can convert a prius to be a plugin hybrid, but apparently its not that affordable right now.

What is required to keep a Prius vehicle running on a daily basis, and is the maintence schedule more rigorous than it would be for a regular vehicle?
