What is the best Hybrid car in the market right now?

I ask because I'm planning to buy one. I just can't decide which one to get. I looked up the reviews on all the hybrid cars (Yahoo Auto) but still can't make up my mind. I just want something within $20-25K price range. Thank you.

1. Hi, there is no easy answer to this without getting more information on what your needs and wants are. My recommendation is to draw a line down the middle of a piece of paper and put your needs on one side and your wants on the other. Put this list away for a few days and look at it again after a week to see if your answers have changed. Then see which vehicles are on that short list. If you are only looking to buy new, your choices are limited to the Toyota Prius, the Honda Civic Hybrid, or possibly the Ford Escape Hybrid on the upper end of your range. Consider those hybrids in that order- Prius, Civic, and on from there. There are other mild hybrids out there that might possibly fall in your range, but at that point consider the standard model (like the Saturn Vue Green Line). Good luck.
