New Car (exterior) My new car! I had to stand on the curb to take this, as you can probably tell from the visual angle. In the gallery you can also see the Cyclops dashboard.

Congratulations! Patrick wants me to think about getting a hybrid for commuting purposes. I'll have to go back and re-read some of your posts.

I sum up

Now you don't have to go back! :-)

Prius: peppy, mid-size. Never say a word against one in front of my friendslist. Good storage capacity. Electric engine is primary, gas secondary; Honda does it the other way round.

Insight: incredible gas mileage, two seats, no trunk, discontinued, hard to find.

Civic: Looks like a normal car. Good rearward and rear-side visibility. Can't fold down the back seats to haul stuff because the batteries are in the way. Used 2005 has dangerously wimpy acceleration. (One friend claims her 2003 is MUCH better.) Completely redesigned in 2006; I didn't evaluate those.

I also haven't looked at the Camry, Accord, or whoever's done an SUV.
