Hybrid Car, Lets Go for Green

While thinking to buy new car, at least we should know there is quite numbers of manufacturer have started initiatives to reduce fuel consumption, for example the use of hybrid technology or other environmental programs such as biofuels.

The Green-Car-Guides, an online resource dedicated to consumer awareness of issues surrounding fuel-efficiency and environmental impact, includes only (two) 2 exclusively electric cars in its top 10 list of green cars: the G-Wiz and the Mega City.

In spite of recent technological advances, most green cars still have limitations and many quadricycles have yet to be tested in terms of their safety. 

Taking all this into consideration, The Times of London came up with a top 10 list of environmentally-friendly vehicles. Here it is plus excerpts of what their reviewers had to say about them:

Honda Civic Hybrid



"While I admire Honda's dedication to hybrid cause - its been making them for over a decade - fear the result needs to be better than this if its technology is to catch on here as it has in America" - Andrew Frankel

Citroen C1



"In many ways, it's the spiritual successor to the old 2CV, that poisonous upturned bathtub favored by the sort of hippie who's currently handcuffed to the tow hook of your Land Cruiser. If Citroen were really on the ball, it would sell it in CND livery with Ave the Whale bumper stickers ready fitted.


And maybe get super hippie Steve Hillage to design the upholstery. Man" - Jeremy Clarkson

Toyota Prius



"If you like the hybrid idea, at present there are two (2) main choices - the Prius and the cheaper and outwardly more conventional Honda Civic IMA. The new Prius is bigger, faster and more sophisticated: green without compromise." - Ray Hutton

Toyota Aygo



"Toyota plans to sell about 13,000 Aygos a year in the United kingdom, which is a lot of student loans and it is targeting an economic group for whom £7,000 is still great deal of money.


Will Toyota pull it off when you can buy a used car for half that with all the cool you can handle? Quite possible, I reckon." - Gavin Conway

Smart Fortwo



"With its rough edges now buffed, and small cars making increasing sense, this radical little newcomer deserves to succeed." - Richard Bremner

Lexus GS 450h



"Clearly the hybrid drive offers considerable economy and some emissions benefits but the talent you notice most is how 'driveable' it makes the car, offering such instant urge in all conditions it makes conventional petrol engines seems a little impotent in the lower reaches of the rev ranges and diesels strangled by their inherently narrow power bands." - Richard Bremner

Ford S-Max



"This, then is the holy grail. It's an MPV you buy because you lit it.

Not because you need it. And because it appears to be small and has no four-wheel drive system, you'll be able to park it outside church, knowing the vicar won't come along and chop it up with this special nine-bladed eco-sword" - Jeremy Clarkson

G-Wiz



"It is absurdly cheap to run, does not pump noxious gases into city street and is exempt from road tax.



Apart from that, the G-Wiz needs only plugging in to the mains to refuel." - Marc Rattray

Lexus RX400h


"There's an electric motor that automatically springs to life at times like this to drive the back wheels as well. Brilliant.



That means the four-wheel drive-ness of the nuclear-free peace-Lexus comes at no cost whatsoever to the planet. Its an open toed 4x4. A free-range SUV. The closest you can come to organic motoring." -Jeremy Clarkson

BMW Hydrogen 7



"Because the internal combustion engine can run on either fuel with little need for modification, you can switch between hydrogen and petrol by pressing a button on the steering wheel." -Andrew Frankel

    We bought a Civic Hybrid from certified Hondas after reading this very informative post! Thanks much for the help and great insight!

    Most cool. It's hard to call most cars Green today. Battery's remain a problem. In Australia it can cost $5000 to replace a set of battery's in a Prius. But than I should not complain. If I could, I'd drive a IH AB 120 series 4x4 all day long. That's what my Lens is all about. The truck that I drove from Australia to Germany. But I've left you with a 5 star rating, cheers from DOWNUNDER
