I'm sure the toyota battery lasts more than 24 months.
One thing is don't buy a Civic hybrid if you are looking for trunk space! there isn't much. hehe. Also the rims on this car is probably the ugliest looking in the world. but i guess it's light and aerodynamic.
Still it gets me 800km's on 35 litres of fuel in the city. and over 1000kms on the highway.

That is amazing mileage! Also good to hear about the batteries on your Civic. Any Toyota hybrid drivers out there to comment on their cars? It was that fact alone (and verified through two sources) that scared us away from the hybrids. Nice to hear that they are more reliable than promoted down here. I should have asked CalgaryPuck before making the final decision.
