Travellers crashed into my car on Monday and to avoid the guards etc bought it from me for cash on the side of the road. I got more than my insurance would have paid out so I was lucky in one way. Anyhow, I'm looking for a Toyota Corolla or Carina - showing my age... Avensis (saloon), no higher than a 1.6 and registered in the latter end of 2008 to get the cheaper tax. It needs to be super reliable and have decent tyres that won't need changing. I won't be able to afford to do anything to it. On my extra wishlist is that it'll be diesel. I have up to €2K to spend but not a cent more and even that is pushing it.

These questions are not directly at you Duke but you might hazard a guess, would something like that be expected to last a while without major investment and be practical for doing maybe 300km's a week made up of lot's of short journeys? Can these be plugged in at home without hassle? There's a public charger near where it would be parked and I've rarely seen a car plugged into it. How much would it cost to run if it was nearly fully charged all the time? I know there are a lot of variable factors involved but I'm only looking for educated bar stool advice not a written warranty.

They are great for stuck in traffic so if you live in a city with lots of stop start driving the electric motor is great. Then once you have a clear road switch on engine and drive. In normal engines you use more fuel stuck in traffic stop start driving that is why Hydrids are great.
