2003 Honda Civic
The 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid does not make a lot of sense, based purely on economics. It has less power than the regular Civic, a slightly smaller trunk and it costs about $2,500 more. Apart from a slightly more luxurious interior it's only advantage is an EPA City fuel-economy rating of 48 mpg compared to about 35 to 40 mpg for an equivalent Civic EX sedan with a CVT.

The performance-oriented 2006 Civic Si coupe, for example, can feel taut-almost edgy-in its handling, and it's the first Civic with nearly 200 horsepower. The 2006 Honda Civic sedan has a more mainstream ride and has different styling from a Civic coupe at the rear.

The Civic Hybrid is tops in the safety department. It has air bags stashed in the steering wheel, the dashboard, and the sides of the front seats. They are smart enough to inflate based on the severity of the accident, and the side-impact bags use sensors in the seats to monitor the size and position of the occupant; they won't deploy for a child or a small adult who could be injured by the inflating bag.
Civic Hybrid delivers economy and near zero emissions
The Honda Civic Hybrid, the first mainstream gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle sold in North America, enters its third year on the market as a fuel economy, emissions and advanced technology leader. The Civic Hybrid comes equipped with a long list of standard features including power windows, door locks and mirrors; cruise control; Immobilizer anti-theft device; dual stage, dual-threshold driver and front passenger air bags; and a tilt steering wheel. Honda was the first automaker to introduce gas-electric hybrid technology to American consumers when it launched the Honda Insight in December 1999, followed by the Civic Hybrid in March 2002. Together, the Insight and Civic Hybrid captured four of the top five slots in the 2004 EPA fuel economy ratings. The 2005 Honda Insight has earned the highest EPA fuel economy rating for any passenger car for the fifth consecutive year.
Hybrid Cars - Winter Driving in Honda Civic Hybrid
The oil change interval in the Civic Hybrid is 10,000 miles for normal conditions, and 5,000 for "severe" conditions. Your dealer would like you to think you're driving in severe conditions, as they'll make twice as much money off of you. Then check out residual values at the Canadian Black Book site (you have to do this through a automaker's site). Factor in the resale value, and the hybrid looks like a net economic loss over driving a gas Civic. A 2-year old Civic Hybrid fetches about $15500 at trade-in.
The Environmentally-Friendly Honda Civic Hybrid - Automotive
Enter the 2005 Honda Civic hybrid. With the optional Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), it gets 48 mpg in the city and 47 mpg on the highway. About the same combined mileage as for the Toyota Prius, the only other compact gasoline-electric hybrid sedan on the market. Despite the chassis modifications, however, it is clear that the Civic hybrid feels far more normal than any of the other hybrids on the market today, thanks to its more refined suspension and close to standard wheel and tire setup. Nonetheless, when driven sedately, the hybrid seems quieter, smoother, and generally more relaxed than the mainstream model. To highlight this benefit, Honda has equipped the Civic hybrid with standard features such as alloy wheels, side airbags for the front occupants, a remote-entry system, and a CD player. These are usually not standard features. The hybrid even has an automatic climate-control system unavailable on any other Civic.
