Fair comment on the range but reliability should be on par. The introduction of the second energy source in the hybrid opens up a whole new field of moving parts and components to go wrong but think of the Toyota 1HZ engine which was as reliable as a wood burning stove as long as the oil and fuel was good compared to the new Toyota V8's (not to mention all the other electronic aids included). When you think about it, a hybrid should be a good engine. You'd have excellent low down torque as well as good top end power.Quote:
