Looking at an '04 Civic Hybrid

I was poking around on Autotrader and I found a 2004 Civic hybrid for sale. Manual transmission. It's got a lot of miles - 171,000. I know Honda makes great drivetrains but I'm wondering if there are any issues that might arise with that many miles. Should I be concerned about the lifespan of the batteries? If anyone owns or has owned one I'd welcome any input. I haven't actually looked at the car yet, it's about an hour and a half away. Asking price is $6750, which seems reasonable according to KBB. I'm really picky with cars when it comes to ergonomics and handling, so I would have to test drive it first and see what I think. I've always owned hatchbacks or wagons and had wanted to stay with that, but the idea of having a super efficient car is very appealing, and I'm having a hard time finding a used car I'm happy with.
