Discussion: Yay, "new" car

Hope it works well for you.

I'm very happy with it. It's the first time I've bought an almost new car. It's a hybrid, so I'm having a lot of fun trying to drive only on elecricity.

We had a rental hybrid on one of our trips earlier this year. Things we noted were not knowing if the car started (because it's so quiet!) and a bit of un-smooth engine change during the switch from battery to gas. Don't back up over someone who can't hear your car! (my big fear around hybrids)

Must be so satisfying to drive in a city, though, and get fantastic mileage!

Yes, it is very hard to tell if it is going or not, and you can't miss when it switches to gas. Apparently there's some sort of back-up alarm, that I luckily haven't activated yet. But it is very satisfying to drive around and not have the gas gauge move much. I just looked up the conversion, and our gas is about $5.44 US/gallon.
