Hybrids - anything to watch for?

The ICE will also kick in if you need extra cabin heat. ... However, if it's cold outside, and you tell the car to get to room temperature or defrost the screen, the ICE will kick in,

You're quite right of course - but is anyone else smiling at the language - ICE is needed to defrost the screen

To close the thread, I bought the Yaris T4 Hybrid.
A year old, the closest petrol equivalent one was £11,000, the Hybrid cost £11,500 from a main dealer.

So far it's indicating around 60mpg, driving normally, plus the tax is free.
To offset that, servicing is £30 a year more than the regular petrol (£129 vs £99 for an A, £189 vs £159 for a B at the franchised dealer)

Overall, yes. (In the absence of a hybrid Aston for the same price)
