Used 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid 4dr Sedan w/Navigation (1.3L 4cyl gas/electric mild hybrid CVT) Consumer Reviews
Barb's Hybrid
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.
Wonderful Car
Bought in Nov 07 with Nav and XM. More comfortable than the BMW 335 I looked at. More comfortable seats; more headroom. On the Highway at 65 mph I get 46-50 mpg, depending on hills or flat road. In town with stop and go I get around 30 mpg in the winter and 36 in the summer for short trips. Hybrid engines need to be warmed up for good mpg. (My wife's 2006 Odyssey gets 14-15 mpg in town and 24-25 on the highway.) The mpg calculated by the number of gallons of gas I use and miles I drive is 1-2 mpg higher than that shown on the dashboard mpg computer. MPG depends on weather, avg speed, hills, frequency of stops and starts, how soon you get off the gas before you stop, and how you accelerate.

Very Cool Car
Bought in January - $21.9K internet price and have not been disappointed in the least replacing a '99 DeVille. Overall MPG average has steadily increased to 45 MPG over 8000 miles as I have learned and adjusted driving habits. Last several tanks between 48 to 50. High tank was 56 MPG! Estimate $1K savings in gas over the Caddy so far which got 19-20 MPG & took premium & that is very noticeable in the checkbook. Fun to drive & my wife takes it when she can over her '02 Crown Vic.
Bad MPG
We bought 2 2008 Civic Hybrids being told that we would get 40/45 mpg and I have 4000 on one of the and 700 on the other. We get 28/30 mpg at the best and they tell us that nothing is wrong with them. Anyone else have this problem? Service even told us that they get a lot of complaints about this and that most people don't buy them for the mileage. I find this hard to believe. I could have saved $$$ buying a regular civic and got the same mileage.
Like my hybrid civic but waiting for mpg
Our Civic started out averaging 34 mpg. It increased to a max of 43.4. Now it is down to about 35. We mostly drive in a semi-city situation, and we are not quick start and stop people, we drive conservatively. I am not excited about the 40-45 mpg claims at this point since we have yet to see that on a regular basis. Otherwise, we really like the little car.
