Hey everyone, this car is kind of for me but kind of not. So my work will give me $ back if I purchase a hybrid vehicle. There is an old car in the family and this is a great opportunity (and well timed since it now has started acting up) to replace it.

So I have looked at the likely answers but maybe there is something I am overlooking. The car should allow two adults in the back comfortably(3-series size to midsize is fine, not larger than that). Cargo is not a huge concern.

The Prius, as great as the vehicle is, I really did like it--but no one else does so it's not going to make the cut. I have looked at the Jetta Hybrid in person but have yet to drive it. Personally, I would love a TDI but I won't get money back from my company for one. The Jetta hybrid has a decent interior and is leading the choices right now. I have seen the new Civic Hybrid on the road quite a bit on my commute. They look nice. Anyone have experience with the Jetta or Civic hybrid? Or the regular gas car in general?

The Jetta has a 1.4l turbo hybrid with a dual clutch 7 speed transmission. Not that I will be racing it but I wonder if it feels better than the CVT in the Civic for daily driving purposes?

I know I am all over the place but any feedback would be great! Thanks guys.

What about the crz ?? Is that even what its called im not even sure haha but its a hybrid and a honda and it wont break the bank.. or just be silly and say you want a tesla hahahaha

He needs two adults to fit in the rear..a four seater. Get a civic. If money is no option get a 4 series

My bad i thought the crz was a 4 seater. Whoops to be honest i never paid attention to that car or any hybrid for that fact hahahaha

haha if I get a Tesla I am also eligible to get a rebate from my company but it's not enough for me to afford one right now lol

I went on truecar and the Jetta Hybrid SE (leather and other little things) can be had for 21,9xx+ttl+doc, the Civic Hybrid base is 22,5xx+ttl+doc. So it's very similar. Maybe I just need to drive both but on paper I like the Jetta. I am just scared it will see shop time if the reputation holds up to be true.

Keep it in the family and get the civic.

if they ever come out with the mazda 6 hybrid that would be my choice. how long do you have till you make the decision? i personally love the new styling of the mazda's and the skyactive system is pretty awesome. just a food for thought. but if you wanted to get the $ back from your company and stay in the honda family heres one for you.
