Hello everyone... last night I traded in my 2003 Volkswagen Golf diesel (42/49 mpg) for a 2005 Civic Hybrid MT in Opal Blue. Since I was active on VW boards I thought I'd join up here. I will miss my Golf but will not miss smelly, smokey, less eco-friendly diesel fuel and multiple expensive trips to the dealer for all sorts of issues. Let's put it this way... I could have replaced Minute Made as the top lemonade producer in the world. Thanks I'll be here all week...

I've only put about 40 miles on the car so far (including 2 test drives) and so far there is absolutely nothing I am unimpressed with. Quite the opposite, from the beautiful color to the automatic A/C, I love everything about this car. Acceleration is almost idenitical to my Golf and EPA fuel economy ratings are better! Well you guys already knew all that...

Proud to be a Civic Hybrid owner!
