Honda Civic Hybrid Review - the Pros and Cons

Are you worried about how high gas prices are affecting your budget? Is caring for the environment important to you? Do you want a reasonably priced car that looks great and is fun to drive? The 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid is the car for you.

This hybrid vehicle uses both a gas powered engine and an electric motor. This combination gives its owner better gas mileage. It also helps with air pollution since emissions are lower. The 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid is a 4 door, 5 passenger sedan that achieves 40 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. You don’t have to sacrifice looks to get the great gas mileage.

The interior and exterior features mirror the Honda Civic. This car comes with Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™* with voice recognition, and a 160 watt cd audio system. The exterior is described as futuristic and sleek. Long windshields and a rear deck spoiler add to the modern look. You will be saving money and commuting in style.

Safety is an important factor when purchasing a vehicle. The 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid has side curtain airbags, dual stage airbags in the front, side impact beams, anti lock braking, the latch system for child safety seats and a tire pressure monitoring system. You will never have to plug this car in to recharge its battery, it doesn’t need special gas and it comes with same warranties as a regular Honda. Prices range from 22,600 to 24,350.
