yes, for hybrid vs diesel i rather get diesel
like comparing ct200 and bmw320d i will get bmw
or compare prius insight etc etc with ford focus tdci will get ford focus...the long term running cost is just not feasieable
diesel engine is so reliable...no problem whatsoever, proven tested, my dad prado engine last for around 500000km than we change it not because its gonecase, because it start to eat engine oil, how reliable is this engine man...just service and go, no need bother about spark plug or what, once in a while change filter and in a long time change timing belt thats all

why bother buying hybrid? u cant save much, resales value really down the drain...
