mr_132,
Well written . Funny, we share almost the same experience with the civic hybrid. Im coming from an 2001 Audi S4 to the 2006 HCHII. Overall i'm very pleased with my decision to go Hybrid.

Observations/Adjustments/Differences:
- CVT from 6SpeedMT
- HCHII gets its butt kicked by gusts of wind vs. rock solid s4
- Floaty Handling vs Quattro
- 50mpg vs 19mpg
- Passive Drver vs. Semi Passive Agressive Driver =P
- I always laugh when i press lock twice on the remote *beep beep*
- COOL SHIELD WHEELS *nuff said*

I'm at almost 4000 miles on the hybrid and driving at 80mph on the highway is a distant memory. I get scared driving in the fast lane now =P. I always find myself glancing over at the Assit/Charge bars and the mpg meter to the point where it's getting distracting/dangerous.

I just got my car to get 500miles on one tank (full to gaslight(+5 miles)), happy day hehe. I didnt drive the car all weekend because it was so hot in the bay area and didnt want to use A/C to mess up my mpg's! (yes im going crazzy like that)

I think i've gotten the car to go all electric once... for like 2 seconds (i think) then i had to brake for a red light.

Yes the voice activation can be silly at times

Me: Play Track 3
