Buying a hybrid - will low use damage the car?

My annual mileage is about 3000 a year.I prefer an automatic and am considering the Yaris Hybrid. Most of my journeys will be local 10/20 miles,and on occasions the vehicle will remain parked for a week at a time several times annually. Being a hybrid is this going to be a problem?

No. Very nice little car. The best of the current Yaris range. The whole range has just been facelifted, so make sure you get the facelift or a big discount, See the Yaris entry in www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar

Fairly big boot by class standards, tempting hybrid option, Toyota has an epic reliability record.
