Non-plugin hybrids had all the drawbacks of gas engine drivetrains, but I view a plug-in hybrid as an electric car with a backup plan. Pure electric car owners are betting they'll never need that, but some of them are wrong. That said, I've had a reasonably cheap and reliable used Elantra for a while, and I'm holding off on these until the market settles.
