I am debating between a 2005 Honda Civic CVT and the 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid 4x4. There are a lot of tradeoffs between them (e.g., Ford has a better warranty on hybrid components, etc). Could you give me some suggestions (mostly short, semi-urban driving, live in snow belt of UP of Michigan, retired, etc.). Thanks
Well, in my eyes, your debate is basically "Do I need a small SUV or can I make do with a small sedan?

Because either way, you will get good MPG for the type of vehicle you are driving. The Hybrid-ness of each vehicle should not even be an issue. There should not even be any Hybrid-related debate about your choice, because Hybridology is not the issue.

This is the first time in automotive history we are able to make that choice - Hybrid SUV or Hybrid sedan?

A Good problem to have, Eh?
