#6 of 9 emissions by pdogmurphy Nov 15, 2008 (10:30 am)
Please include a comparison of the emissions or the overall 'green' effect difference, since that is the 2nd major reason to buy a hybrid after gas mileage.
#7 of 9 the real skinny... by blindberg Nov 17, 2008 (11:24 pm)
two years ago, i traded in a Deville for a civic hybrid....since buying it, i have averaged 42 mpg....driving from home to paso robles at 55, i get 60 mpg....driving from SF to paso robles at 80 mph (and you don't know you're going 80), i get 38 mpg. when i need to pass fast, i pull the CVT into a lower range and red line it....it moves just fine....the ride is amazingly good for a small car, and, you know what??? I LOVE the wheels....real class....

The hybrids are for the fools. If you looking for bang for the buck, get the fit.
#9 of 9 Fit didn't Fit by bearcrkrd Nov 26, 2008 (4:46 pm)
I read the article just over a week ago. I too am glad it was more bare-bones vehicles rather than a comparo that doesn't really help me at all, even if I wish I could afford (and would love to drive) one of 'them' that comes in just under the $$ of a Manufactured Home. What struck me about the test was instead of the Fit, it should have been a Civic EX or really, just an LX!! That makes better sense. Keep 'em coming, it's good reading. Also the post on SF/Paso Robles & how much the person likes their Hybrid was good to read. They should know.
