I have a 2005 Civic sedan with a 5 speed manual. It isn't a hybrid, but without hypermiling I get mid 30's for gas mileage. After a lot of neutral coasting and engine off cruising last tank, I hit 47 mpg. I paid $6,000 for it with 92,000 miles. They can be had for cheaper. We (wife and 8 and 4 year old kids) go everywhere local in that car.
I'd try to find one with maintenance records. The timing belt is something to watch out for.
