My parents helped me with this car for a graduation present and I love it. It's fun to drive, great on gas and is very stylish inside. I've gotten nothing but compliments on it and I love it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a reliable coupe.

I bought my Civic Hybrid about two months ago and have put over 5000 miles on it already. I live out in the country and do a lot of highway miles but also work in the city. For my last 150 miles (which was almost all highway) I got ~57 mpg. Over all for the ~5200 miles I've driven, I'm getting 48 mpg! I've had no issues at all and the Civic has enough pep for getting on the highway, or climbing hills. The mileage started (during the first few weeks) around 43-44 mpg, but has continued to improve. As a driver with a hybrid, you can become more concerned with mpg than mph. I've learned to drive slower to enhance my gas mileage.

I'm a little let down by this car. It's the first Honda I've owned. I bought it for its fuel efficiency to replace my F-150. I really expected more. It gets the same mileage as my old 2003 Camry 4cyl which had 150,000 km. This isn't bad, but I expected better even when new. I really hope it improves with time. However I don't think I will ever see those EPA numbers. The car rattles so much it is embarrassing - especially when cold, this car was not made for Canadian winters! The plastics scratch really easily. The door where your finger nails sometimes touch is the worst!!! The car does drive very well. I constantly have to remind myself this is not a luxury car by any means.
Where is the quality?

I have been in the automotive business for 15 years. I have owned or leased almost every make vehicle including Toyota, Ford, GM and Honda. This Honda Civic is my 3rd Honda. Of all the vehicles I have owned, by far I have had the most problems with Honda's. The engine and transmission may be smooth and reliable, but the little annoying problems like the constant flickering of the check engine lights (all 3 have had this problem). Very disappointed and frustrating. I've had less problems on my GM owned vehicles - far less! These vehicles are riding on the reputation of Honda's many years ago. Believe it or not, many American vehicles have surpassed the so called Honda quality. DISAPPOINT

15,000 miles and no problem what so ever. Gas mileage is very good, at $4.00 per gallon it's worth it. Handling is crisp but steering is a little too sensitive at highway speeds. Performance is all I expected, now if the front seats weren't so hard and the road noise as loud I couldn't find anything to fault.
