I've been driving a Honda Civic Hybrid for about a month, now. I like it a lot. It cost a little more than the normal Civic ($20k vs. $15k). I've seen 34-38 mpg in stop-and-go commuting traffic in the Philadelphia area. They claim 51, but that's probably highway, and I haven't done much extended driving with it yet.
I kept my older SUV for runs to Home Depot, but keep the Civic for my commuting. So far, so good!
I test-drove the original model Toyota Prius and didn't like it as well. The new Prius would seem promising, but it isn't out until next month...and I wanted my techno-fix.;-)
