It has an 8 year/80k warranty. I read where they had tested the battery up to 180k w/out the battery having any problems.

I thought about getting a regular civic, but the tax credit the hybrid will provide helps to make up the price difference.
What about when the battery pack needs to be replaced?
I know in Cali they carry an 8 year warranty but that's only because of a state mandate. Who knows when they'll actually need replacement.

I think the money you save from the fuel cost you would've used on the other vehicles will more than make up for a replacement battery. Out of those choices I would take the Civic Hybrid.

Do not buy a diesel. You are polluting the world and giving us all cancer.
Also, those mileage figures for the diesels are complete bull. Consumer reports had a recent article on the fuel mileage debacle.
If you want the most reliable and cheapest ride per mile, it's going to be the Toyota or Honda. You're just asking for trouble with a VW, and Ford is just as bad if not worse.
Do the world a favor and don't buy diesel.

Well, I just got back from Honda dealer. They only had 1 Civic hybrid on the lot, and it was sold already. I had to test drive a regular Civic. I was impressed. Handles great w/ very responsive steering. So, to make a long story short, I ordered one w/ navigation system. Hopefully, I'll get it in 3 weeks. I had never been to a Honda dealer before, but was very satisfied w/ how things went. I had to pay MSRP, but they gave me more for my trade than I thought I'd get.
Galaxy Gray Metallic (I would call it a platinum color).Congrats. What color did you choose? I saw a silver Civic hybrid w/blue interior and it was really nice.

God you're so full of it. Tree huggers in Europe love them. THEY ARE NOT DIRTY LIKE THEY USED TO BE. Get over it and deal with it.
