alt Hacker NewsI have a conventional (not plug-in) hybrid Toyota Corolla as otherwise I'd have to pay loads to drive it in the city.
It does get crazy mileage and drives well so I can't complain. They are more expensive than standard cars though and you can't leave it in neutral which is a problem in some car washes.

2021 Corolla hatchback owner, I didn't know anything about the neutral thing until I was given a courtesy car by the dealership (CH-R: big car, tiny boot) and the lady told me twice never to put in neutral
I don't get it. I put my Toyota hybrid in neutral while going through a car wash all the time.
I just googled this. I had no idea this was a thing some people worry about. I guess it's a problem if the hybrid battery runs out while the car is in neutral, but there's a meter right there to tell you how much charge it's got if you're really worried about it.
