The type of hybrid car you choose will very much depend on your own personal use case. Mild hybrids are useful for saving fuel on high-distance journeys, so are a good choice for those with long commutes. Full hybrids are handy for those who drive in several different environments, such as through town, around a suburb and on faster motorways. As they can be used on electric-only for limited distances, they can be very useful for navigating through traffic silently, and keeping the air clean. Plug-in hybrids, meanwhile, are a great choice for drivers who want to spend more time driving on electric-only power. If you've got the means to recharge the battery, they can often provide you with enough electric power so you'll never have to top up the tank at the pumps. If you're travelling longer distances, they can also offer considerable economy gains over standard petrol and diesel cars. Be warned, though: plug-in hybrids are often significantly more expensive to buy than regular combustion cars.
