I tend to agree with him on the driving 25 in the city and 45 on the highway, you can't do that in Jacksonville, and not get run over.

Now he's happy with a regular '08 Civic and getting about the same mileage, and Honda bought back his 'lemon'.

Guy is a clown.
Notice there is no quote about the actual mileage he gets from his conventional Civic? Will he now admit he was wrong trading the HCH for a conventional civic, no bloody way!!
Oh well, he did buy a honda, why oh why would you buy a honda unless Toyota have run out of cars?

I dunno here, the only problem he might've had with Toyota is the fact that all of the dealers in a 50 mile radius don't have any Prius' on the lot no matter what day of the week (though we know this already). Though he might've had a better chance of getting a TCH here than anything else.

Geeeez, I have to admire this guy as he literally managed to do what is impossible for many HCH-2 owners to do.

At least he got quite a bit on the re-sale/trade-in value of his hybrid and the good thing about this story is that the poor car finally has a good chance of finally getting a proper home.
For some people, hybrid ownership is hardly an ideal relationship.

Hey patsparks, what's wrong with your mileage?

Funny. He probably drives the hybrid like he stole it and babies his new car. That or he does it to both and it's just the regular Civic doesn't tell him what he's actually getting.
