Got Tired of Waiting Picked up our New Civic Hybrid Yesterday

[jwight]

Found this on the Prius Chat forum:

The HV battery is warranted for 10yr/150K miles in CA and states that adopt similar emission standard.
Read the following copied out from Toyota eBrochure for CA.
.....
Basic: 36 months/36,000 miles (all components other than normal wear and maintenance items).
Hybrid-Related Component Coverage: Hybrid-related components, including the HV battery, battery control module, hybrid control module and inverter with converter, are covered for 8 years/100,000 miles. The HV battery may have longer coverage under emissions warranty. Refer to applicable Owner's Warranty Information booklet for details.
....
California Emission Control Coverage: In California and any other state that adopts California emission warranty provisions, defect and performance warranty is 15 years/150,000 miles. The Hybrid Vehicle Battery is warranted for 10 years/150,000 miles.

Hope this helps.

Two weeks ago on 05-06-08 we struck a deal on one coming in with no navigation. Gave us a great price on our 03 Mazda 6 trade in. Got a call about a week later that someone with a no-nav on order wanted to get one with nav, so we moved up on the list. Got a call Saturday the 17th that the car was here. Picked it up yesterday. The Civic Hybrid comes with all the options. Your only choices are with/without a nav system and what color.

my condolences.
