Thinking of buying a hybrid in Kenya? They say hybrid cars are "good for the environment," but are they also good for your wallet or your sanity when the mechanic gives you a bill that could pay the country's entire debt?

In this episode, Kalasinga and Vanilla are joined by hybrid expert Nyambura the Motorist to answer the burning question: are hybrids really made for Kenyan roads, or are we just paying more for quiet engines?

We also discuss:

• How hybrid cars handle the different conditions of Kenyan roads
• The real costs and challenges of owning a hybrid car
• Our ranking of the best hybrid brands for the Kenyan market
