I owned a 2005 Honda Hybrid and drove it for 35,000 miles and loved the car. I could get 50 MPG if I was really careful and did not use the A/C. My overall MPG was about 4 5MPG. My son now owns the car and I shipped it out to him from Florida to California. He is getting 38 to 42 MPG. I purchased a new 08 Honda and we are getting 50 MPG using the A/C. The new car is much improved over the 05 Honda in every way. Honda has managed to make a great little car even better. I even love the two tiered dashboard. I only have one minor complaint. I wish Honda would reposition the hand brake.
Not up to the mark

The mileage is not that good. On average it gives only 35 and in winter its worse. Its only around 30 or some times less. Even Honda sent out a settlement notice for the poor mileage. Initially the mileage was good when u drive on hwy, but within city is not that good. Also the auto stop feature doesn't work always. And when u are in a slope the vehicle goes back even when the transmission is in drive. Overall very dissatisfied with the the price I paid for, i.e. almost 24k for a small car.

After 11K miles, the car is perfect except I cannot get rid of the the "tire" warning light. This car gives 38.8 mpg for both city and highway. Acceleration is adequate to merge and change lane at 60-70mph. I got speeding ticket for running 89 mph ( in fact it was 93 mph) in a smooth highway. Sound system is much less than perfect but if you just listen to radio then it's a good fit for the money.
Best car on the market

Drove both Civic Hybrid & Prius before buying. Civic is quieter; has fewer distractions for operator; and gets even better mileage than advertised. We have taken several 400 mile trips and find the Civic to be stable and effortless on the highway. We have discovered that keeping cruise speed below 68 mph increases gas mileage by nearly 6%. I utilize GPS on other vehicles and would prefer a more comprehensive data base on the Civic. We love the car and feel that we made the right choice.
49+ MPG almost daily

I drive 70 miles round trip each day to and from work. If I am not rushed, I can get over 49 MPG. I can hardly believe what an investment I have made.
