The Hybrid has optional soy-cloth seats which are obviously green yet still durable since there's no plastic which is petroleum/fuel. If you do get the hybrid though, plan on keeping it for 5+ years because if you just want to sell it under that time frame then you just wasted $10,000. Also, the intent of a hybrid is mostly for stop-and-start city driving, so if your job has you commuting on the expressway every day for a good distance, then the four-cylinder will get you about the same mileage, and hey, you saved $10,000. Good choice for a vehicle though, you'll like it no matter what model you get.<br><b>References : </b><br> The car is built the same way, so it will be just as safe in either model.

To me, the 10k price difference isn't worth the maybe 10mpg you'll be getting better and that's if you drive like a saint.<br><b>References : </b><br> I wouldn’t recommend the hybrid unless you plan on keeping it for 6+ years and plan on putting 100,000+ miles on it in that time frame.

Reliability and Safety will be comparable. The acceleration on the non-hybrid will be slightly better, even with the 4 cylinder. Ford uses the same synergy technology as Toyota, and it is extremely reliable. Down the road, you will likely make up a little of the savings on the hybrid because they have regenerative brakes and the fact that the hybrid does not have a timing belt that needs to be changed. This will make up some of the difference, but for $10K, it is hard to justify picking the hybrid unless gas skyrockets or you want to drive as green as possible and have the money to spend.<br><b>References : </b><br> About 7-10 mpg.
