I did read the rest of the paragraph, and most things sre designed to last longer than they are warrantied. However, it IS likely that a buyer will have to pay for a battery change if owned for a long time.

I am not bashing hybrids. I am merely stating what multiple financial analyses have said: buying a Hybrid will not save you money. It does not mean that there aren't other reasons to buy or that hybrids are bad cars.
