Speaking as someone who has a Civic Hybird, I LOVE THIS CAR, it gets better
mileage, granted, it costs a bit more, not really much compared to the EX
auto which it is closest to.
You have to drive it to understand the true value, this car is smooth, I
don't mean Lincoln dead ride, it doesn't jerk and lurch through the throttle
process, no shifting, just smooth acceleration and deaccelration, no jerking
about as traffic speeds up & slows down....then there is the tourque, when
you need it, instant I do no have to wind up the engine to get it and there
is lots of it, v-6 amounts the car is quite zippy if that is what you want.
The gas mileage is very good, I drove a standard Civic for a couple of weeks
while my Accord was in the shop and got 25 mpg with the way I drive, I am on
my 2nd tank of gas (I have used 14 gals in just over a month) and am
currently at 46, I am mostly city driving. But, here is the real reason,
the TRENDY neighborhood I live in, planet earth, appriceates the small
break.
