well for honda, which has no track record, probably will give you problems. AS for prius, which is the more expensive version, has a track record.

But as we all know batteries never last forever. You got to replace them. The funny thing about our country is to promote greener vehicle, they remove taxes. Then the spare parts very expensive. What the heck. So should you buy a hybrid car? If the battery pow by company for minimum 10 years, then yes, why not.

Also alternative to hybrid is Direct injection and Diesel. Diesel is like hanging on there, we got some supporters but we don't have better diesels, thats why it is not common. Direct injection is something to look at, as it uses petrol, where we have some ok quality petrol, but not many cars in affordable range offers Direct injection. and those who offer are for rich and upper class. Proton and perodua may not be able to offer you anytime soon. So our country is stuck in petrol engine with high consumption. Unfortunately.

so very soon, we hope to see more and more direct injection engine and hopefully some good and conservative automotive company can offer a great range of good engines for us malaysians.
