Looking at something for my wife. Any experience either good or bad with these new hybrid/electric cars? Usually only 30 miles per day driving or less.
Don't want an electric 914, I like the one I have with an aircooled engine.

If you can hold off for a little while, the Ford C-Max Energi due out soon looks real nice, inside and out. I got a test drive in one, and the extra interior room vs. other hybrids will work good for me. They make two models, the Energi is the plug in model, and unlike the Leaf will give you a backup engine after the 60 miles (+/-) of battery storage. It looks like an oversized Focus to me...

With my wife's driving habits, we should be able to go for MONTHS without pumping any fuel into it. I also recently qualified for a special electric meter from Detroit Edison that will give me about 60% price reduction on any electricity that we use between the hours of 7PM and 11 AM, so I will set it up for evening /night recharging.

I wish that I could have recommended a Porsche product, maybe soon.....
