This is true for Honda Hybrid (sadden to say)

Power = Honda Civic Hybrid (Hy) will still lose to conventional Honda Civic (NA) . Dont ever think of adding turbo to a HY car 

Fuel Consumption = NA will win over HY, unless you're on highway. On full 100% KL-road, the hybrid technology used by HY does not kick in often enough to justify. You'll still save some money but the ratio money-saved-per-usage is still not in an nice figure.

HY will save alot more petrol compares to NA if it is on the highway or on a non-stop road (read: no traffic-jam).

Price = NA will win simply because 1.6 vs 1.3

Spare parts = NA will win simply because HY uses newer technology that is available only at higher price at the moment.

Ying-effect = HY will win because it is the ONLY hybrid car in Malaysia.

Take your pick. Dont get conned by the HYBRID word used by this Honda Hybrid.
For all reader , check the attachment, and you will realize what I mean.


edit: cant find it, but there was an article i read some time ago which calculates the ROI for all hybrids in the world. The shocking news is that hybrid (due to it's higher cost) doesnt provide a nice ROI compares to normal cars[SIZE=1]
