I'd rather get the Toyota Matrix myself. It runs from 15 to 19 grand and is infinitly cooler than the civic ever could be.
I've got a friend who owns a Matrix. She hates it.
You won't be racing with the Civic Hybrid. Only 95 horsepower. Take that into consideration. _________________ Sometimes I miss my sanity- Wedge Antilles

I meant the Civic Hybrid. Typo. Just saying that the LX is faster. But if you don't care, it's all in the price specs, because besides that, the two aren't much different as far as luxury and handling. _________________ Sometimes I miss my sanity- Wedge Antilles

Whew.
You could just about buy the Mac with the annual payment savings from buying the LX.
The tech junkie in me says buy the Hybrid, but it's hard to justify with those figures. I could have it all wrong, though.
One other thing I hadn't considered: Resale value of the Hybrid after 3 years. It may not be as valuable (less popular) since the tech is so new to the marketplace.
This is why I stopped buying new cars years ago... _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis

Those numbers seem to make sense and match the calculations I've been doing.

heh, I have an 89 honda civic, got it for 2k. biggest problem I've had with it is the timing belt broke and i had to get it replaced for about 200$ (at the same time getting all my other belts replaced and full tune up for that same 200) my car has been great, so civics are obviously proven, how proven is the hybrid? _________________ The problem with America is stupidity.

Ditto for my nephew's '87 Prelude. It smokes, but it starts everytime (160,000+ miles and counting). The only problem he's ever had was the timing belt, too.
The gas engine I wouldn't be too worried about, it's that electric motor drivetrain. It's probably borrowed from the now-defunct Impact, but there hasn't been enough data to accurately predict how it would hold up long-term...this stuff's still in its infancy.

Unless you want to use your life savings to pay more money down on the Hybrid and lower the payments. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis
