From what I've heard the 1st gen Civic with 5spd are awesome highway cars. They have lean burn just like the 1st gen Insight, so that really helps them out. Driven right you'll beat a Prius on the highway. In the city you'll find it very hard to beat a Prius though. IMA simply doesn't have the guts that HSD does.
That all being said I have had my eye out for a 1st gen Civic for a while now as a possible replacement for my 97 Paseo (I also have a Prius). I think they're great cars. You might just want to look into a grid charger to help keep your pack alive a bit longer.
