If you had at most $35000, would you purchase hybrid vehicle or a sports car?

Question

add "why?" at the end of the question

this is for a class...

Answer 1

i would buy an vauxhall - opel ecospeedster. diesels are part of the future

118 mpg and 160 mph.

hybrids are complicated, expensive,...and too much solid waste in the landfills from all of the batteries and there is also the concerns over the high EMF fields that they have, especially if people have children (leukemia, etc., if you believe that).

Answer 2

Well, knowing what I know now, I would probably get a 2007 Toyota Prius, loaded, and still have $5000 to spend on gas. Or I could actually get a Honda Accord Hybrid for $30,000 and have a hybrid and a sportscar in one. The Accord Hybrid is the most powerful Accord ever built and still achieves 35 mpg on the Highway. I would not consider a conventional sportscar considering the harm they do the environment and America's dependence on foreign oil. Hybrids are the best options on the market in many vehicle segments. The Batteries have been proven to last, they are as safe as comparable conventional models, and the performance is more than anyone really needs. Certainly if you have the money it is worth it to opt for a hybrid above anything else. The emissions alone make it a superior choice to diesels which no longer meet EPA standards in 2007 except for the Mercedes Benz E320 cdi. So with an Accord hybrid and $35,000, you really can have your cake and eat it too.

Answer 3

I would purchase a Hybrid. There are so many hardships created by our need for petroleum, that we should be conserving energy.

If we had seriously begun conserving fuel in the 70's with significantly efficient vehicle standards, we'd be in better shape today. It's not too late to start now!

Answer 4

I was in this situation in spring of 2002 when i was in a car wreck with a drunken firefighter who slammed into on the side of a highway while he was on duty driving an F-250 while i was in a ford taurus broke down on the shoulder of the road.

i got a new camaro.

Answer 6

the destiny is electrical powered autos fueling (charging) at nighttime on what's now idle lost electrical energy from the baseline era vegetation that would desire to run very nearly one hundred% 24/7 no count if individuals are using or not using, so it's going to make our present day infrastructure greater helpful day and nighttime. precise now maximum of that surplus electrical energy is shot into the floor because of the fact they'd desire to maintain 60 hertz with out interrupting the %. and warmth of the plant, any variety of temperature substitute would reason high priced water leaks, so this is greater fee-effective to maintain it consistent to not point out a call for precise right down to national protection to have electrical energy waiting at a 2d's observe.

Answer 7

A hybrid, because of the price of fuel more than any other reason. It's going to get worse, not better, so an alternative way of driving makes sense to me.

Answer 8

Hybrid - feel good about the impact, and actually impresses people more. More versatile: can carry up to 5 people or bike/furniture in the back (toyota prius hatchback). You might be able to get both if you get both second hand.

Answer 9

I'd pay off bills and then invest the rest in something more tangible then a car that will be off the books and considered junk in 7 to 10 years.

Cars are not investments.

Answer 10

A sports car because life is short.
