Is it worth trading my 2007 Honda Civic for a 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid????

naw dont do it man.... sure they hybrid might save u some bucks but in the end if u drive 70 or 80 on da freeway ur going to be using as much gas as b4. Hybrid only really works when ur cruising at low speeds like 55-60.. i mean who does dat on da freeway unless its jam packed u know. In traffic it may be worth it but not worth trading the car u have now.

If you are looking at it from a "green" standpoint, go ahead. If it's strictly from an economical standpoint, I wouldn't do it. Your 07 has depreciated more than it ever will in it's first year. If you're still not sure about what you should do after everyone gives you advice here, go to the Honda dealer and ask them how much it will cost to replace the batteries on the hybrid. I was going to do the same thing with my Accord but was talked out of it by the Honda dealer. They stated that every hybrid, no matter what make of vehicle, will eventually need the batteries replaced and it is not covered under warranty. Cost could run between $4-5000. There goes your savings.
