Alright, I've done a TON of research, I'm currently looking for a new vehicle to use primarily for commuting. A hybrid just makes the most sense, based on MPG. I'm considering three models here, the Toyota Prius, the Honda Civic Hybrid, and the Ford Fusion Hybrid. My basis for comparing them is much more than just MPG, the Prius has the most MPG. Each car has similar safety tests, similar features available (Navigation system/ XM Radio/ Leather seats) so it's kinda tough selecting a car.
They are all similarly priced so price isn't a big deal.
Prius Pros: Great MPG, Toyota Name (Reliable), Great features
Prius Cons: Bad handling, rear spoiler obstructs view
Civic Hybrid Pros: Middle MPG, Honda Name (Reliable), Pretty good features
Civic Hybrid Cons: Alright handling, features weakest in car
Fusion Hybrid Pros: Best features, Great handling
Fusion Hybrid Cons: Least MPG, Ford Name (Unreliable apparently)
Which car should I choose? Also, I've always been a Toyota/Honda guy, but I'm open to anything. I've heard that Fords break down, and in the long run they're just not good cars. (EX: Brakes go out early, etc) Is this true, or has Ford changed?
