Used 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid 4dr Sedan (1.3L 4cyl gas/electric mild hybrid CVT) Consumer Reviews
Very Good . . . Room for Improvement
Very good little car. I can't say what happened to other owner's Honda Hybrid, but our gas mileage started out about 37 - 39 mpg. This is not what we were led to expect. However, to be fair the mileage started increasing around the 15000 mark, without a change in our driving to what it is now of approximately 43 - 46 mpg. We feel this is a good reliable car that still needs a little tweaking. Also, it would be very nice if a hatchback was offered.
2004 Civic Hybrid
We haven't achieved the mileage advertised, however, it is satisfactory. 43mpg on a trip is the best we've gotten, and that's good considering your foot is in it on the interstate system. I'm a big man, so I could use some more room. Once in position, I'm all right. Comfortable ride considering the size. You must drive knowing your capability when merging at high speeds. This isn't a race car. The transmission is very smooth. The radio is from hunger. It's the poorest thing about the car. Using the cruise control gives best economy on the highway. Would get another one without concern, but would barter on the price more seriously. May save $1K, but don't expect to save more.

Good Car
I am fairly pleased with this vehicle. Although this car started with averaging around 40-44 mile per gallon, after 11,000 miles driven it is consistently getting around 34-36 miles per gallon.
New car experience
I bought this car after driving a Buick Regal for 6 years. I can say without reservation, this car is a pleasure to drive. It feels like I'm part of the car. It is responsive in traffic and the milage is terrific. I have about 1000 miles on the car. I took it from the dealer and wenton a trip of 250 miles. Half was highway and half city miles. I averaged 43 mpg. I look for it increase. i would recommend this car to anyone who wants a "fun" car to drive.
