The hybrid battery in this car isn't worth crap.
Every now and again, while I'm driving, especially if it's longer than 30 minutes of driving, the battery light for the regular battery comes on. The hybrid battery light has been on for quite awhile and it needs to be replaced but who can afford that!?! Anyway, I was told that this car will still work with a regular battery, it just won't get as good gas mileage. Well --- let me tell you it is terrible! I have replaced the regular battery twice in the last year - this car EATS batteries ! Not only does the car eat batteries, but the umph is complete crap. The lights dim at night. And last night, the car just stopped while I was driving because the battery was so dead.
I've had several mechanics look at the car and they all think the issues stem from the partially-dead hybrid battery as there's nothing else wrong with the car. (hybrid battery sometimes chooses to work and sometimes not. )
Save yourself the trouble and get a Prius if you want a good used hybrid. I love Hondas but this car has me looking at other makes for me next car !
