What's the best car for a 100 mile daily commute?
I commute from Leamington Spa to Oxford each day. This is a mix of motorway (M40) and Oxford stop start traffic. I have been driving an Octavia 1.6 diesel. Would I be better to get a hybrid?

That's 48 miles, so roughly 100 miles a day and 500 miles a week. A self-charging hybrid probably makes more sense than a diesel, offering about the same economy overall, but not facing any forthcoming ban from sensitive town centres (such as Oxford).
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

What annual mileage would be recommended to justify the extra cost of a petrol hybrid?
My mother-in-law is spending more time back in the UK and is in need of a car. The car will be used mainly in a London suburb but it will need to head to Cornwall a few times a year and left for a month...
I do a daily commute of approx 40 miles each way. I can charge a hybrid vehicle at work. What should I buy?
