Having relied on walking, public transport and occasional taxis for the last 14 years, my husband and I are close to admitting defeat and buying a car. There are lots of factors involved in this. A big one is that my mum, who lives in a town with appalling public transport, is ill. It takes us close to 3 hours to get there by public transport vs 45 minutes to an hour in a car.
I was hoping that fully electric, self-driving cars were going to be readily available next time I needed a car, but the technology has not moved fast enough.
I have a full licence, but will need a few practice lessons to get back up to speed. Previously I drove an old Volvo tank, manual gears. My husband will need to take lessons and pass his test.
So, if we're going to buy a car, are any of the electric or hybrid models worth getting and are they reasonable value yet? I am starting from a position of almost no knowledge, so I would appreciate any pointers to old threads or other websites, but I'd also be interested in any personal experiences of owning or driving these types of cars.
