Do your Civic duty - in a Hybrid

I just went one year in my Hybrid - 18,006 miles. My low mpg has been 41 and highest was an interstate drive from Richmond to Miami at 56.4 mpg for the trip. Terms like performance and fun differ with this car. I have owned Audis before this and still keep a Miata in the garage. They are the traditional performance models. The Hybrid ranks high in performance for how it performs its mission - transporting me around in relative comfort with extremely good mileage. The car is slow to accelerate but if you adjust your driving habits (I have) the reward is peak mpg. I still get to my destination but I do not have to pass other cars or arrive first.
Piece of crap

I was going to buy a Prius or a normal Honda Civic. I decided to split the my decision and go with a low mileage Civic Hybrid. Big Mistake my friends. When I test drove it I was impressed because the car is very smooth and rides nice. It seemed to be everything I wanted. However after two days of driving my new hybrid I noticed I was only getting 33 mpg highway and city. I filled the tank up twice and the car went 400 miles on a 12.3 gallon tank (that's what the size is and it equals 33 mpg). I tried to take it back and trade for another regular Civic but I was told "You signed and now you are stuck with it." All I am told is "You have to drive with a light foot" Prius, Prius, Prius!
Nice car but....

I have owned this vehicle for 1 year and have about 29,000 miles on it. The vehicle handles good. Gas mileage is good. I was rear ended at 10mph by a Jeep Cherokee and the vehicle suffered a lot of damage. I was told that the steel in the civic is not as strong as other vehicles I guess for weight? Any way not too impressed. Happy I leased it for 24 months and can't wait to get out of the lease. I suggest leasing and if you like the vehicle buy it after the lease is up, if you don't like it you can return it like I will. I need something fuel efficient and fun to drive this is not as fun.
Think twice

I am already making plans to get rid of this car. Think twice before buying if your 5'4" or under. I have adjusted this car nonstop since I got it and can't find a comfortable fit. The head rest juts out into the seating area so if you're short, your head hits it nonstop. I finally pulled the headrest off. Now its comfortable but I don't feel safe. This is my fourth Honda Civic and the only one I wouldn't recommend.
