    I'm using one for about 3.5 years now. Never tried to sell it yet so don't know about resale market. What else do you want to know?

    I would advise against getting an FD3 Civic hybrid because of an issue with the hybrid battery that affects some vehicles. Honda claims that less than 1% of Civic Hybrids have the issue and it only affects YOM 2005-2008 cars, but still, if your car has the issue you'll have terrible fuel economy and will have to replace the hybrid battery to properly fix the issue.

    Basically with some Civic Hybrids after relatively low kms of use, the hybrid battery begins holding less and less of a charge. As a result the fuel economy goes down to the point that it's almost the same fuel economy of a regular Civic. Some owners have had to get their battery replaced.

    Honda issued a battery software update in 2010 that FD3 Civic Hybrid owners could have done to their vehicles to stop this problem. Although the software update did work and did protect the battery, it dramatically lowered fuel economy. So either way, owners of affected cars will have fuel economy similar to a regular Civic (unless they replace the hybrid battery). A Civic Hybrid with everything in order should get around double the fuel economy of a normal Civic.

    Here is a news story about the whole thing >>>http://www.dailytech...rticle19357.htm

    I would advise you to go for a Prius. They are rock solid reliable and are by far the most popular hybrid in SL so parts and servicing will be easier. If you want a Honda hybrid go for the Insight. If you absolutely must have a Civic Hybrid go for a Civic Hybrid that was manufactured towards the end of 2009 or better still, a YOM 2010 or 2011 model because Honda made running manufacturing changes to the Civic's hybrid battery and software in 2009.

    r u sure?.. One of my friend owns a hybrid repair center, Most of the prius came in 2010 - 2011 now have to replace either the battery (170,000), inverter (75000), ABS module (85000), for the recondition parts having only 3 months of warranty. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    If you are not running at least 750km a month, you are better off with getting a FD4 or FD1. FD3 is good for long distance running and if you are running a lot of miles per month. For long trips you'd get around 18-20kmpl fuel economy on average. 20-24kmpl on highways.

    Check the condition of the hybrid battery before you buy it. If the car is not well run and just sat parked around for the most part, thats the main cause of hybrid battery going bad.
    If you get a car wit ha bad hybrid battery, it will feel underpowered. 20 of the 110hp of the car comes from the electric motor. When the hybrid battery is bad, the electric motor assists less and the car behaves more like a regular 1300cc vehicle without that extra 'ooomph'. There is a day and night difference to acceleration and pickup when you have a good hybrid battery. So it's more important than just for better fuel economy.

    If the car is well run, a good hybrid battery would last for 4-5 years and maybe more. I've run 100000km so far with mine and for me it's been a reliable ride. I have no idea about the resale market though. I never bothered about it. The car looked interesting to me so I bought it.
