Would you go Hybrid?

[Pinky]

Taking into regards that fuel prices are reaching new frontiers and putting foot doesn't really help, would you consider a hybrid? I think the active hybrid 5 is rather sexy!

I would definitely consider a performance hybrid :rollsmile: not too keen on the donkeys...

If by hybrid you mean one turbo diesel for town driving and one twin turbo petrol (N54) for urban driving, hell yes!:rollsmile:

 

[CocoPops]

WHen it makes financial sense I myt..

At the moment it they dont present any savings to me over their petrol counter parts.

Why sacrifice so much in terms of motoring for fuel consumption? Yes sure my M3 might use 12-13 l/100km, it sounds great, its raw and exciting and makes you feel alive and the driving experience is just epic. I will never give this up for R500 per month less fuel.

I still believe Hydrogen cars is the way to go, hybrid still uses petrol or diesel, yes its less but the need is still there and the only way to preserve oil is to stop using it.

I think I'd go for the 530d instead of the ActiveHybrid.

 

[Nic_s]

I would just buy a 320d. Sorted.

Its like saying....

Well the planet is overpopulated, so im going to turn gay iun order to help aleviate the problem....

You decide...

 

[Caddy101]

:yuck:
Hybrids are expensive! You have to do a couple hundred thousand km before you start saving money

I don't see anything wrong with diesel quite frankly. I'd love a 640d...
Looks awesome and goes like hell

I would consider a small capacity diesel hybrid, or one of the new 3 cyl's with a battery. BMWBLOG says the new 3 cyl sounds good and goes well.

Fuel is my biggest expenditure at the moment

 

[Pinky]

Thats it.... I am buying a horse!

 

[FaSTandFurious]

Not even if you pay me

 

[mo_s]

itd be nice to have a hybrid that works and saves you money to use sitting in traffic on the weekdays..weekends however Id keep a full petrol guzzler for :rollsmile:

 

[AshG108]

Hybrid, that be a 330d or 530d or X5 40d, or 640d, now those are Hybrids!!!

will a diesel use braking energy to top up the tank :fencelook: as stop start traffic is the main cause of high fuel consumption seems like a good idea...

what if they combine electric with diesel?

prices will come down in time like all new tech...

I would only consider a hybrid( assuming combustion-electric) if it were a plug in hybrid with a range of at least 50km on elec only. Added benifits if its diesel or uses capacitors for elec storage.

 

[Sankekur]

I would never consider a hybrid or an electric car until they start using proper power generation (and storage), any car that uses batteries for electrical storage make no economical or environmental sense.

 

[petrivanzyl]

I'd rather buy a 320d........or wait I did:fencelook:

 

[Gizmo]

I'll smoke a hybrid, I won't drive one....:fencelook:

 

[telegamer]

I dont even like the start stop function that the new cars have....never mind a bloody hybrid
