Hybrids - anything to watch for?

[mcflurry]

Aside from the additional upfront costs, are there any downsides to shopping trolley Hybrids, compared to the regular petrol version of the same car?

For example, the Toyota Yaris Hybrid vs the 1.3litre petrol, or Honda Jazz vs Jazz Hybrid?

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)
