Hello,

I'm looking at a few options for my next vehicle. Want to get a plug in hybrid. Currently driving a 2008 prius.

Top contender is a Ford C-Max Energi 2015. I've been able to find these locally for under 15k with low mileage. I check with my mechanic and he said they use the toyota hybrid technology inside so reliability is solid. Anyone have experience with these?

Kia Niro Plugin - these are a bit newer so the lowest I've seen is around 20k, these are also a bit bigger. Anyone have any experience with Kia Niro's, either the hybrid or the plugin?

The old hard, the prius plugin. These hold their value a lot more so its not my top contender. Is it worth the prius premium?

Any thoughts are appreciated.
