I'm thinking of buying a 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid... I've been wanting a Hybrid for a while, but my dad heard somewhere that the special batteries used to run the car (not the typical car battery) have to be replaced every 3 years and they cost $3000. Is this true? I have spoken with people who have Toyota hybrids, and they all say this isn't, and they're warrantied if they do break. Does anybody have any info on the facts? I want a hybrid, but I don't want to pay $3000 every few years for a new battery!

The batteries are built to last and are covered under warranty, so make sure the Civic you are buying has not been in any kind of accident and is covered. Batteries are expensive and working on these cars is no joke, the jolt from this battery will land you in ICU. But just in case you need to know, they are $3000 new and true from the dealer, but you will be able to find a good used one for around $300.

It is not true that the batteries last only 3 years.
