Gone are the days when the Toyota Prius was the only hybrid struggling to engender the green technology to the masses, and now almost every automaker has some sort of hybridization in its roster. The combination of a gasoline engine with an extra battery to help improve fuel efficiency makes them a smart choice for commuters, thanks to increased fuel economy and lower carbon emissions. While there are more hybrid offerings than ever before for sale in the US, and while they are cheaper than ever, they still might be out of reach for some buyers.

There are plenty of options out there, but some may be better than others. Here are the best hybrids for under 10k, and the worst used hybrids for under 10k.
