couldn't tell ya... but probably nothing you are looking for performance wise, hybrids aren't known for performance. Only their gas mileage performancesorry...

It is one neat car. It is smooth running, it is fairly economical on fuel at around 40 Mpg. It is totally silent sitting at a stoplight. It does a smooth transition starting up the tiny gas engine and running on the freeway. It does not have to go through smog inspections. It has the ability to keep up with most small economy cars in most any traffic situation.The big problem is the necessity to replace the espensive battery every 3 - 4 years, depending on how much you drive and how hard you drive.

Performance-wise it should be almost identical to a regular Civic, except it will get significantly better mileage.I've heard that the Civic hybrid is significantly louder than the Prius (which is an extremely quiet car), but it's probably quieter (or at least no louder) than a regular Civic.
