Civic hybrid performance upgrade
I am thinking about buying a honda civic hybrid to for its fuel efficiency on long drives. I only thing I do not like about the hybrid is its low horse power. I would like enough horse power to get up to speed with highway traffic quickly if neccessary.
Here is my question(s). what could be down to a 2006 civic hybrid to increase its horse power without loosing it good fuel efficiency. How much would and upgrade like this ocst for both parts and labor. And is the upgrade worth the cost.
Please keep in mind that i know very little about cards. So please explain everything in lamens terms.

If you want more acceleration, get another car. You just won't get the fuel economy of the Civic Hybrid. You cannot get a car with both head-snapping acceleration on demand and stunning fuel economy.
BTW, we are all in various stages of the buying process. Some are just in the research stage, and others have been driving their hybrids for a year. Lower HP for a person who has a lot of hwy time might be a major consideration. Each person's needs are so individualized. There are many things to consider: price, mileage, comfort, family situation, concern for the environment, the auto's appearance, and so on. What is right for you may not be right for someone else. That's why we share. We want to be helpful.
