Hi,

Welcome to GreenHybrid and the forum "Model Comparison." Your question comes up frequently and the answer is it depends. For the most part either car will provide years, even decades of reliable service. However availability varies. You might visit the dealers and see which one 'fits' and then think about your driving profile. The Prius generally does great in the city and the Honda Civic Hybrid (HCH) is a comfortable cross-country ride.

As a suggesting, wander through similar threads from the past, they are pretty accurate, and then ask for details.

GOOD HUNTING!
