Chose over Saturn Green Line for mpg although same price. Although I usually choose GM cars, I am highly satisfied with the overall appearance and performance of this Honda.

2008 Honda Civic Hybrid Miliage

I am having some severe mileage issues with my 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid. I was fighting to keep mileage above 49 mpg when I went in to have new tires and oil change at 30,000 miles. Up to that point, I had never gotten less than 50 MPG (measures by dividing miles driven by gallons of gas to fill up). This included summer and winter driving, city and town. Immediately after tires (original?) and oil change I had difficulty getting 40MPG. I am now fighting to get above 35MPG. Dealer claims to have checked out and can find nothing wrong. I drive better that anyone at getting best mileage (slow speeds, cruise, tire pressure, gentle starts and breaking, little heat and air conditioning, etc)

This car is so low maintenance and still runs like the day I bought it! So practical and still a cute car. I love it.

I love this car

This is an awesome little car that is all it is claimed to be. It performs as well as my Civic Hybrid. It has a comfortable ride and is quiet except on highways with those ridges cut in it. The range is a little limited with an 8 gallon fuel tank and the fuel gauge accuracy is marginal at best - an important feature when you only have 8 gallons when full. The fuel economy has been much better than indicated. Overall average for the last 3200 miles of mixed driving has been 35.9 mpg. It has had a reliable 200+ mile range with a 90%+ fill. It would probably do better if the fuel gauge could be relied upon.

08 Civic Hybrid with Nav

I only have 300 miles on my new Civic Hybrid, and I love it. it is the most fun to drive car I've had since my 88 280-ZX. I had it up to 85 on the freeway and it held the road like a champ. I took it up a steep mountain road and it didn't falter or slow down a bit. I haven't figured out all the electronic stuff on the NAV system yet but that will surely keep me interested for awhile. My gas mileage has not been 45 but more like 35 but I guess that's due to the way I drive. I did get 50 downhill (ha ha). it's too much fun driving to drive it like a granny.
