Would you buy your car again?
Every year Consumer Reports asks its subscribers if they would buy their car again.
Pretty much every year, the Toyota Prius is one of the top ‘buy again’ vehicles, as it was again this year, coming in at number 5. But the Prius wasn’t the top hybrid on this year’s list.
Coming in at number 2 was the Ford Fusion hybrid.
Perhaps that helps explain why the Prius and the Fusion hybrid are the top two selling hybrid cars in the US?
