Hybrid Vs Non-Hybrid

[Rumesh88]

cost depend on the type of vehicle. Whether its Hybrid or not cost is same. BMW not a Hybrid.

I read the line a couple of times and ended up with schizophrenia!

There are hybrids in BMW..just do a simple search on google and see.

Coolant, oil filter, Break repair charges, service charges etc are common for all vehicles.

Some people actually maintain vehicles with this mentality. This is why there are premium brand cars running like shit after a while and the same reason why most hybrids will be plagued with issues not too lomg from now.

If you seriously do not know about something, please don't comment and mislead people.

The costs of maintaining vehicles vary by brand, fuel type and technology, country of manufacture and when it was built.

This is because cost is relative to the availability of spares, the expertise required to do maintenance, maintenance intervals and the complexitty and demands of the vehicle itself and finally to a certain extent country of manufacture.

For example the cost of maintaining a Toyota Prius Hybrid is not the same as a BMW i8 Hybrid. Its not even the same as a Honda Insight Hybrid. I can go into detail why, but I think your misunderstanding is far more basic.

LMAO!

That was removed due to allegations, that it was misused by users to target certain members for personal reasons. So now we have the "like" functionality, which shows who has "liked it".

Recently one of my dad's friends moved from 121 to axio hybrid.according to the car's calculation,best mileage is 17.3kmpl.and he is using it for abt nearly 8 months.what i see in him after moving to a hybrid is that he is proud of owning a car that bears the emblem 'hybrid' and he never let me drive it.IMO i think 90% out of hybrid users have moved to a hybrid for the trend.the word 'hybrid' has now become a fashion like,'arpico hybrid wathura tankiya'.people who cannot afford a hybrid car can be satisfied by buying a water tank labelled hybrid.

And of course most hybrids like aqua,axio,insight etc engines are noisy as hell.specially the insight and freed sound like a sewing machine to me...

Why would your Dad's friend let you drive his cars? Unless of course you're dating the daughter! But even then its a stretch...

[Hoonigan]

Dhork is probably right, the equivalent of the folks a while back who thought that 'intercooler' was all the rage.

Typical hybrid thread ... hybrid vs non-hybrid arguments followed by some Jackrabbit posting some utter bulls***t followed by chaos....

Is this during rush hours?

[Indrajeedez]

Not really....its just in normal traffic.

How does it do on long trips? I heard normally it does around 22km/l

Yeah on long drives it does between 20-24 depending on the road. If its downhill (say from Kandy till Yakkala it will do around 30 if driven very carefully in traffic less times). Uphill it will do around 20. Its hopeless when it comes to short distance travelling in traffic.

any car will give you the same results in traffic, whether it s hybrid or not...

I bought an Accord few months back. It's doing around 11.8 - 12.5 kmpl in Colombo while in traffic. When I travel to factory it does around 17 max and in the highway around 21 max.
