07 CIVIC COUPE vs. 07 CIVIC HYBRID?

WHICH SHOULD I CHOOSE???

I LIKE THE STYLING OF THE COUPE WHICH ALSO HAS GOOD MPG (ABOUT 36 HIGHWAY)

BUT WITH GAS PRICES INCREASINGLY RISING...

WOULD IT BE WISER TO GET THE HYBRID WHICH HAS GREAT MPG (45 MPG HIGHWAY)

IM A TEENAGER, SO OF COURSE I WANT TO TRICK OUT MY RIDE WITH A SWEET BODY KIT, RIMS, & SPOILER. HOWEVER, THEY ONLY LOOK GOOD ON THE COUPE.

WHAT SHOULD I DO??????????????

Cost-wise, a Civic coupe getting 36mpg is going to be cheaper to own than a 45mpg Civic Hybrid unless you drive the Hybrid A VERY LONG TIME because the Hybrid costs a lot more up front.

According to Carsdirect.com, you can get a Civic LX coupe with some options for around $17,500. And EX coupe is another $1000 to $1500. The Hybrid checks in at $22,600.

That's $3500 - $5000 in gas money you lose up front when buying the Hybrid versus the non-hybrid coupe. With an EPA estimated difference of 9mpg and an average fuel price of $3.25/gal, you'll have to drive the Hybrid 193,500mi to break even on fuel savings versus the EX coupe (at $3500 price difference between the Hybrid and an EX coupe). Compare the LX coupe to the Hybrid, and you'd have to drive the Hybrid 277,200mi to break even on a $5000 initial price difference between the LX and the Hybrid!

Hybrids don't make sense financially until gas costs at least $6.50/gal and even then you'd have to drive the Hybrid over 95,000 miles before you broke even on the initial cost difference between the Hybrid and non-hybrid models.
