Well Delta... now I can't hide... can I? I guess I should answer then.

Marianne, Delta-Flyer and others are absolutely right. You should drive the Prius and the HCH, just to be sure. Only then, will you have the comfort and the piece of mind that the choice you made trully suits you and your needs.

Please forgive our brand name zealotry. It is easy to love our cars that much. At times we forget that we (as hybrid owners) are still severily outnumbered on our streets. We also forget that in reality we should be supporting each other because in the end, we're all in the same team.

While I do appreciate both cars I am also quick to point out that for me neither is better than the other. Despite each being best-of-breed from their respective manufacturers, they do have their quirks and limitations - and that is the truth.

As Delta said, I can give you a subjective and personal evalutation of each car via a personnal message if you prefer. But in the end, it remains your choice as it should always be.

Nevertheless, regardless of which you choose I am certain that by picking either the Prius or the Civic, you'll be purchasing a great automobile that will serve you very, very well.

Welcome !!!
