Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid?
The gas mileage is great.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Not normal tread ware on the tires. Honda has a known rear suspension issue where the tread on the tires go much sooner then normal cars. Make a better suspension system with better tires. People buy these cars for three reasons. They are going to drive a lot and will need good tires, they want to help the environment, and get better gas mileage. Tires would be a logical thing to improve on.
Improve on the insulation of the car to reduce outside noise.

2008 Honda Civic Hybrid Review:
Overall it's an OK car, but if you have to replace tires 3 times as often then it makes no difference from a cost perspective to get a car that gets better gas mileage. You save money at the pump, but it ends up going into new tires. :( If this persists I will not buy another Honda again.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Gas mileage of course! I love my hybrid! I've owned it for 2 years and now have over 65,000 miles! I normally average 530 miles on a full tank about 11 gallons. The summer months it's about 450 because Las Vegas is too hot and the car doesn't auto stop when the temperature is above 106! I have done a lot of research learning how to drive the car to maximize the mpgs. I also like the look of the car inside and out! The navigate is fantastic and the XM Radio and iPod adapter are prefect.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid?
I would change a few minor things on the car.
The rear seats should fold down. Add solar panels for powering the AC etc.
Adding a sun roof.
Maybe making a sport package with an arrow dynamic roof rack! Or coming out with a hybrid civic hatchback for more space. I have an active life style and would love to be able to travel with a bike or snowboards and hatch back and rear folding seats would be prefect.

2007 Honda Civic Hybrid Review:
Overall I love my car. I found one good dealer in town and they do a great job.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Great gas mileage with the hybrid.
I like the "heads up display" instrument panel, steering wheel controls for the stereo and cruise control.
Roomy trunk, plenty of head and leg room for this 6'4" guy, and a sleek exterior obviously designed for drag reduction.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Major reduction in the road noise
Work on blind spots (especially driver's side rear and front quarter panel areas)
The bucket seats get uncomfortable on long drives
And lastly for goodness sakes MOUSE PROOF THE CAR! Mice have made it into the cabin filter housing twice already and from there they can get into the car itself.

2006 Honda Civic Hybrid Review:
Overall a decent car. Mice getting into the car is a major turnoff--engineering a mesh screen cover for the air intake for the cabin sounds like it would be simple. Would buy another, but will be more inclined to buy a plug in hybrid.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Unfortunately, it is cheaply built..for the price you would expect more quality.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid?
The gas mileage is in the high 30's. The car is literally wearing out at 80,000 miles...not durable at all. DO NOT drive this car in the snow! We affectionately call it the DEATH mobile during the winter as you loose all control (slips and slides everywhere).

2006 Honda Civic Hybrid Review:
If you want a Civic, buy a regular Civic...the hybrid is not worth the extra money.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Mileage, Handling, Size (for parking) and got it in time to get a HOV lane sticker to cut down on traffic time. Availability was key; at the time, I was not in a position to sit on a waiting list for another vehicle. Maintenance has been reasonable as well.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Back seat comfort could be improved (seat cushions are not firm and are flat without any taper).

2005 Honda Civic Hybrid Review:
The 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid is an excellent buy, particularly if you can acquire one with a HOV lane sticker. The design makes it look basically like any other Honda, which is good for those who feel more comfortable with the familiar and bad for those who wan't the world to know they drive a hybrid.

My extended family has purchased two 2005 models and one 2006 model. We are all happy with them.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Great handling car, tight turning radius, a joy to drive. Understand Honda does not load the smaller cars with standard options as other manufacturers, but would like an upgraded upholstery and perhaps a better seat cushion for the front seats with a more adjustable headrest.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Would love a more neutral interior. Mine is navy and it shows every piece of lint and every dog hair from my JRT. There is a blind spot that is hard to deal with that comes from the wide windshield on the driver's side, but it is tolerable once identified. And it can be difficult to judge backing up as the window is at a upward angle and you don't see the trunk lid at all, let alone if you are trying to back into a dark garage. Auto on sensor lights would be great, too.

I would like the engine to use electricity more in town as a way to be more environmentally friendly.

2007 Honda Civic Hybrid Review:
Love the car itself. Had to put new tires on it at just below 25K miles. Had to read up on LOW ROLLING RESISTANCE TIRES to understand difference. Factory tires were Dunlops so went with those again after trying Michelins for a tankful of gas when overall mileage dropped 25% from 45+ to below 39 mpg. Thought it was the tires gripping the road too much after the Dunlops but cannot say for sure as now Dunlops are on it and mileage has not improved. I hate to think the engine has problems or maybe the computer that controls everything is malfunctioning after 25K miles.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Obviously the mpg’s, “perceived” Honda quality, interior feels roomy (except trunk) Speedometer up top so easy to see without taking eyes off road & it’s digital.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Honda service bulletin 08-001 issued should have been a recall, causes rear tires to wear out, the entire car to rattle excessively between 65 & 80 mph’s and tires can explode on highway (MAJOR SAFETY VIOLATION). Honda doesn’t want to replace tires, at 33,xxx miles I feel like I’ve been the shop WAY too much & had to pay WAY too much for things while car is under warranty – worried about long term reliability now, will unfortunately probably sell the car. Wouldn’t recommend purchase.
Needs cup holders in rear
Rear Seat should fold down

2007 Honda Civic Hybrid Review:
By something else that's good on gas, like a Toyota or Mini Cooper --- my 4th Honda and the quality isn’t there anymore

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid?
I like the overall exterior look. The engine has quick pick up power.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Put a multiple disc cd player...add better suspension. we feel every little bump in the road..use better tires...at 3000..a front tire seperated..dealer claims that I had hit a curb...and thats so not correct.. I was told that this Honda uses "special tires"...that the dealer wanted over $165 for one..i refused their tire and went down the street to another reputable tire dealer..and i had that tire replaced for $110...same brand of tire the dealer wanted to sell me..and tell the truth about the actual milage you will get..its not 41/51 as advertised...its 30/34.2 ...I drive this car on long trips..and using cruise control..doing 65..34.2 is the best Ive ever got. I purchsed a bra for this car the day I picked it up from the dealer...at a hefty price..they installed it for me..and to this day..it wont stay attatched. So possibly make the way it attatches different. At 7000 miles...the car is at the dealership with a transmission problem. after going up a series of 3 steep hills..i barely made it up the fourth..after i did..i got out and something was very hot..smelled like hot brakes or a slipping clutch...the dealer claims they think this is the main battery getting hot...seems at low rpm and going up hill..the battery does not charge.. they have had the car for two days..and cant recreate the problem.... they claim... this problem has no fix. ( because they dont know what it is ) . American Honda main office claims...they have no problems reported about this year hybrid...but..i think the gentleman i spoke too...his job is to smooth irritated customers...but with me..that didnt work!..when this problem is finally resolved...i will post again and let you know what they found...and what they did to resolve it.

2007 Honda Civic Hybrid Review:
This year of hybrid..looks sleek...has nice interior...nice recessed dash.
Before buying a hybrid..read all you can on line about the different problems other hybrid customers have encountered. This is new technology..so there is going to be bugs to work out.

Pros: What do you like about 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Everything EXCEPT the mpg. It delivers ony 39.3 mpg. I do not have a lead foot and coast to a stop 95% of the time. I consider it a lemon in that respect.

Cons: How would you improve 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid?
Retool it to give better mileage.

2004 Honda Civic Hybrid Review:
Dealer changed oil to Honda's special without securing any better mileagae.

To much external noise in cabin while driving - quite with some insolation.
