I was telling netmouse and rikhei that I'm thinking of getting a car, now that I have a permanent job. The kind I want, of course, is a hybrid. They suggested getting on the waiting list now.

I think I can go a few more months before I'd absolutely have to invest more money in the junkbucket that is my current car.

A reliable car seems like a top priority. We looked at a hybrid at one point, but the dealership didn't have one to test drive. I wouldn't buy a car without a test drive first. I wonder if the situation has changed much in the last 3-4 years.

Here's a quick summary of what I know:

- The Honda Insight is the most efficient, but only seats two.
- The Toyota Prius has lots of room (about Camry size).
- The Honda Civic Hybrid has less room than the Prius, but is a bit cheaper.

You can take a $2000 tax deduction for any of the above if it's "put in use" in 2005. If in 2006, you can take $500.

Rumors persist of a new, more efficient Civic Hybrid being introduced later this year, but I haven't seen anything solid about it. Which one were you considering?

Probably one of the Hondas. I like Honda as a make.
