consumer-reviews-hybrid.jpgLet’s face it, most of the people who review cars for a living aren’t going to get overly excited about a Ford Escape or a Saturn Vue, even if they are hybrids.  These professional drivers and writers have been behind the wheels of many of the fastest and most expensive vehicles ever built.  So, how can the cars, trucks, and suv’s that most of us drive to work each day compare to the greatest cars in the world?  Reality is, they can’t.

This is why people are so interested to learn what their neigbor has to say about a recent car purchase.  Our neighbors speak our language.  Ever notice how hard it can be to understand some of the jargon the so-called “experts” use when writing about a car?  We need expert reviews, but we also like to hear what non-experts think about the cars they’ve been test driving for free.

Below are links to reviews, recommendations, and opinions written by people just like you and me.  Most of the reviews are from Edmunds.com, although we’ve also listed some additional resources.  Before you test drive the hybrid SUV you’ve been dreaming about, take a few minutes to read what others have to say.  Then, you’ll know better what to look for when you get behind the wheel, and before you make that final decision.  Check back for updates, as many of these hybrids are just reaching buyers now.
