I am already making plans to get rid of this car. Think twice before buying if your 5'4" or under. I have adjusted this car nonstop since I got it and can't find a comfortable fit. The head rest juts out into the seating area so if you're short, your head hits it nonstop. I finally pulled the headrest off. Now its comfortable but I don't feel safe. This is my fourth Honda Civic and the only one I wouldn't recommend.
Great Mileage

I purchased a Civic Hybrid a few weeks ago and have put ~1880 miles on it thus far. The mileage keeps getting better as you learn to drive it. For the 1880 miles I am getting an overall of 46.3 mpg. I do a lot of highway driving, but amazingly, I usually see the mileage go up after I get off the highway. I have curbed my "need for speed" on the highway (usually travel somewhere between 62 and 68 mph - I used to drive my Audi at a steady 74 mph when I wasn't speeding)and am really into trying to get the maximum mileage. I've totally enjoyed driving it while the gas prices keep going up. Makes you feel like you made a good decision in getting it.

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.
Not a bad little car

We wanted to go green. We didn't know how we'd adjust coming from 2 new Audi A4 quattros (a 98 and 05). We got this and we don't regret it. It has enough zip. It's comfortable & roomy enough for 4 adults. I've only filled the tank 5 times. The first 4 I averaged about 36/37 MPG. This last one I did about 38 MPG. (402 miles on 10.5 gallons). Not bad comparing to my Audi but not the 40/45 advertised. The car was bucking this afternoon. Don't know what it is. I have about 1,500 miles on it now and it's not the first time it's happened. Overall I like the car and like the economy payment and low gas cost. We must all conserve folks. Buy economical. We liked it better than the Prius.

Got 42.75 mpg on 1st fillup for mixed driving. Almost no difference in ride and performance from regular small car. Funky dash, really deep and low with 2-tiered display that needs getting used to. Long dash makes it impossible to see front end and low dash will hinder long-legged front passengers. Smaller trunk and no flip back seats due to battery pack location. Almost everything is std. including excellent stereo, alloy wheels, tilt steering, cruise control. Please check out a hybrid before buying a regular small or mid- size car. Gas savings and tax credit makes up for price premium. Best of all, you really don't sacrifice in terms of ride and performance.
