A hybrid is not as economical as it first appears, after 380,000 miles you would have gone through several sets of batteries at $3000 each.

Not to mention massage therapists. A passat is a fine safe and comfortable car which in TDI form is capable of 40+ MPG Hwy. I know that isn't a huge number on these pages but we are talking no compromise efficiency and comfortable seating for 4 or 5 plus large cargo capacity. I have a 2005 Wagon purchased in 2010 for $13500. (they command a price in the Seattle area- this was about $3k below local market!).
