the only hybrid that i'm interested is Prius, but UMW don't sell this anymore.

My aunty had a Prius for around 6yrs. In terms of reliability of hybrid and mechanical components, flawless. But one BIG downside is that they’re very low cars (aerodynamic efficiency for maximum range), and you end up scraping a lot of bumps if driven like a regular family sedan. Spec wise, the new Prius (according to US spec sheet) has even lower ride height then previous generations, so even worse. If it’s loaded with 4 people, you’ll be taking speed bumps so slow that cars behind you will start getting angry.

for example, camry hybrid normally battery need to be replaced around at year 7, so still under 8 year waranty. battery replacement actually not expensive, parts like inverter more expensive to replace if kaput if not mistaken.

Toyota warranty for current Cross Hybrid covers battery + inverter + hybrid controller for 8 years.
I don’t know if it’s the same for Camry Hybrid or not.
