The front reminds me of the old Mini Clubmans from the 1970's! A lot of old designs seem to be getting used in new modern designs.

Loved to read your blog. I would like to suggest you that traffic show most people read blogs on Mondays. So it should encourage bloggers to write new write ups over the weekend primarily.

I love this idea, but I've been trying to find something comparable for my Android-based g1.

Sounds great. But I'll wait a few years. I've still got a bitter taste in my mouth from my last experience with VW -- a 2000 GTI GLX quality control disaster.

Please Drive one. It appears you are just using numbers as a point for discussion. When you buy a hybrid you change your mental picture on how you drive. For instance you know you can't just punch a hybrid to sneak between cars like a regular vehicle.. so consumption is reserved in different manners.

If you are driving a car and getting 20 mpg and then you have a car that gets 50 mpg .. you are saving..

Awesome design. But good luck getting that sucker out of your pocket. Ever. And if you do, it'll bring everything else with it.

No reason other than the DX being among the top selling trim level for the Civic; which is also the top selling Honda model. When it comes to vehicles in general, I don't have any hatred. (Well, maybe for the Aztec!)

True, comparing a brand new EX coupe w/manual transmission, with an MSRP of $19,305 may lessen the impact of the Hybrid's break-even point. It certainly wasn't done to make them look bad.

This is also why I planned a follow up post including the true cost of ownership and get a complete comparison - and be as fair as possible.

Lastly - and I'm being as transparent as possible with my motives for the post - the underlying theme for the post was to bring attention to the higher costs associated with the hybrids, while also providing the reader an educated comparison to the used models available as well.

Notice I also included an Si model in my used range. A loaded Si can run upwards of 24k - while the used Si I referenced is just over 17k - still less than the EX by 2k and slightly higher than the DX. That's a smart purchase when all factors are considered.

The other two comparisons, regardless of how those are sliced, simply don't make sense.

Thank you for your comments - I welcome them anytime!

Any particular reason that you compared the well-equipped Civic Hybrid to the Base model DX, which doesn't have air conditioning or power windows /locks? If I didn't know better, it sure sounds like you just have a deep hatred for hybrids, and are trying to make them look as bad as possible.

Instead of the DX, try comparing the Civic Hybrid to the EX model. It's a much, much closer match ( only missing the moonroof. ) Things start to make a whole lot more sense at that level, when you compare things fairly.

Hey guys. I ve been building go kart for 10 years. Way before they were popular.
They are fun to go out for a ride though. Id consider them an adult toy. If you build them yourself, thats another story. But there still not safe in heavy traffic.
I fell in love with them long ago. I built a few full size go karts in my youth. They take months to build. But I can pump out a cart in 3 weeks with a cost of 2,200 and the turn it for a great profit. Im only into experimental carts now. No more mini builds to sell.

If you want to see the Chinese brands in action go to youtube and type in go kart.

One supplier of the expressatvs go kart.
