Thanks, Josh
Buy either one just don't buy a hybrid.They are going to cost a ton of money to service.Just buy a regular gasoline vehicle where you know what to expect.

I was able to fit an 8'x32" door in the car (flat, rear hatch closed) and still had room for a passenger.
I'm averaging 48 mpg. for my first week in my new Prius! And I chose it over the Civic for the same reasons. The Prius is very spacious.

Where do you get this from? There's no way my Prius can cost me "a ton of money to service", considering the warranty. Plus, I've read from different sources that they've turned out to be even more reliable than other Toyotas, and that's saying a lot!

No idea what the Buick looks like (I could google it, I know) - but I thought cars had hit rock-bottom with dumb names like the Nissan Armada ("and the Spanish Armada hove into view of England's green shores!"). "Enclave"? Oh, please.

I bought a 07 civic hybrid over the prius for the much nicer styling. Averaging 45 mpg, my wife and I love it. What more can I say, it's a Honda!
