Used 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid 4dr Sedan w/Navigation (1.3L 4cyl gas/electric mild hybrid CVT) Consumer Reviews
Great car at great price
After researching all hybrids I narrowed it down to the Prius and the Honda Civic. I settled on the Civic because it's a better looking car. I love the car and get about 40 mpg all around. I purchased a new Civic hybrid with navigation for $22,101 including destination charge. It was $24,350 out the door. Apparently that is about $1,000 under invoice. Use the Costco discount and go to the internet mgr. I'm completely satisfied.
Civic Hybrid - Elegant & Thrifty
Having driven both, and now owning the Civic for a few weeks, I think the Civic Hybrid beats the Prius in roominess, handling and performance, with no penalty in gas mileage. This is a stylish, comfortable car that requires no sacrifice and pays dividends at the gas pump, and to the environment. This car replaced a 2005 CR-V, which I loved, but my gasoline consumption is down 50%. Way to go Honda!

Great mileage, poor performance
This is a great all-around commuter car. I have gotten 36.4 MPG calculated by my own consumption figures (not the built-in computer) for the first 11,000 miles. I drive 50% freeway and 50% very slow Los Angeles stop-n-go. The car is very comfortable for a small car and the ergonomics and controls are the best I have experienced. Fuel economy suffers significantly with a/c, slow traffic, and hills. Put any two of those together and MPG drops to the teens. This car cannot climb Baxter street in Echo Park, one of LA's steepest streets. It literally stops half way up the hill and will not move further even with full throttle.
Civiv Hybrid -Home Run
I went from driving a Grand Prix for the last 20 years (6 cars) to a Civic Hybrid, and couldn't be more pleased. It is a solid car, with lots of technology, and actually fun to drive. I am averaging 46.4 mpg, with 50/50 city/hwy. driving. I love the challenge to keep the mileage over 50 mpg. for many of my trips. I am glad I bought it when I did, because they are now hard to find in the Twin cities.
Sweet machine
Great handling, nice design style, great mileage (actually getting what the sticker indicated) and lastly, excellent dealer service (our fifth purchase from this dealer).
