Should we buy a hybrid car?
Could you recommend the best buy for us? We're after a new hybrid car for a retired professional couple? We do approximately 5000 miles/year. Most of our traveling is local city running, except when we travel to Sheffield/Glasgow from the West Midlands to our children's (that is about 6 times/year.) We currently own a Toyota Yaris petrol which has low mileage. Should we buy a new hybrid or just stick with the old car?

If you like your current Yaris then I wouldn't be in too much of a rush to change it - the Yaris has an excellent reliability record and it'll have lots of life left in it yet. That said, the newer Toyota Yaris Hybrid (launched in 2020) is an excellent car and will feel like a step up in terms of interior quality. You could also look at the Yaris Cross, which is a small SUV with a slightly higher driving position than the Yaris. We rate the bigger Toyota Corolla hatchback, too.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Looks great on the outside and isn't too shabby on the inside either. Hybrid engine is cheap to run and relaxing. Autonomous aids make long drives painless.
