Hi,
I travel 56 kms/day to work and have been driving a 2.3 ltr engine car. Due the rising costs of travel, I am looking at buying a Hybrid car.
I see that there is Toyota Prius, Camry and Mazda Axela. Which model/yr and make would you recommend and why.
Thanks,
Prasanth

Hi there,
The Prius and Camry and tried and true vehicles with good reliability, and have proven extremely popular. The Axela is a great vehicle and should be even better as a Hybrid model, plus it still looks very stylish in hybrid form. The Axela looks to be quite new here as an import, so there could be issues with obtaining service/ repair history or parts supply in NZ- but I wouldn't think it too much trouble these days with more modern vehicles as parts from overseas can get here pretty quickly.
