Hi All,
First post here, but currently in market for a new car and wanted hybrid owners honest feedback / advice.
I currently have a Honda Jazz because i used to just drive around a small town and a reliable Japanese petrol seemed the way to go!
However, I now do 35k miles a year because of a new job and funnily enough, my Jazz is taking quite a beating. I'm now looking for a reliable car to do this mileage, and to avoid diesel if at all possible... I'm looking to buy reasonably new (2-4 years old) and to keep the car until it dies.
My Question
Is anyone doing this mileage (35k/year-ish) in an Auris Hybrid (hatch or tourer)? What are your experiences? Is good mpg sustainable? What do you budget each month for maintenance? How high have you taken your mileage before changing your car again?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I have seen bits of my answer from rooting around on the forum, but not everything!
PPS: moving house won't reduce this mileage: the nature of my job is driving around to work with different teams for short bursts.
