I vote keep the civic. I personally don't really like the CR-Z. It is supposed to be a "sporty" hybrid. It still takes 9 sec 0-60 only gets 39mpg hwy and costs $20k-24k. I would think you would be better off buying a base civic for $16k and getting 36 mpg, might be cheaper to insure as well, hybrid insurance is going to start rising a little. They are also offering .9% financing on the civic for 24-60mo. Much better than leasing!
Autoblog sums up my opinion on this car well....

Your $20-23K may be better spent on a base Mini Cooper, Ford Fiesta or Honda Fit – all three cars are just as good if not better to drive as the CR-Z, and their similar fuel economy and far more practical shapes far outweigh our desire to break the mold of the traditional subcompact set.
