#5 Nissan Sentra 2010 - Nissan's spacious, fuel efficient but often overlooked Sentra.

Athletes of the Used Hybrids Cars

Hybrid Athletes

Lets face it, gas prices aren't getting any lower as far as we know. On the other hand however, the world of Hybrids are now more affordable, more reliable, and can take the edge off at the pump. Go Hybrids! 

#1 Big surprise, the Toyota Prius have been king of the mpg conscious world for a few years now. Although you're not going to win any drag races with this vehicle, i'd take pride on being an Olympian marathon runner instead. An Olympian runner that's up to speed with the technological world and runs in the front of the pack for the mid-sized car class. Not to mention the surprising amount of space the Prius has is a plus as well.

#2 Honda Insight squeezes into the big name lists of Hybrid cars as well. Selling points: lower price, great fuel millage (40/44 mpg), Honda's reliability, and above average safety scores has been a huge attraction for customers. As a distance runner, the Insight wont be sponsored by Nike anytime soon but it's still a respected competitor.

#3 Here's a sprinter among the Hybrids! Well, in a way. Many reviews compliment the Altima in its sporty handling, steering, and solid build that is very similar to the gas powered Altima. This "sprinter" averages 33/33 city/highway mpg for above average fuel consumption but still far behind the above competitors. If you're looking for a Hybrid that still has some "umph" behind the wheel, the Altima Hybrid is probably for you.
