Honda Civic Hybrid road tests and consumer car reviews

Honda Civic Hybrid 2009

Asked company to supply me my Civic Hybrid, mainly due to the tax I was paying on the Merc C 220 I had. All I can say is WOW!!! This car is roomy, although the boot suffers a little due to the baterry pack, but interior is comfortable for 4 adults. The spec on the car is absolutely fantastic and better than the Merc with bluetooth for the phone and built in sat nav and VOICE CONTROL! This is a great car delivering over 45MPG in town and up to 65 MPG on a run and more than comfortable enough for me to do London to Edinburgh with only one break (and that was because I needed the bathroom). All this and only £15 per year road tax and no congestion charge!!!!! Worth it just for that (although you do still have to pay a £10 per year exemption fee - the robbing b********). Only one problem was that some toerag decided to key the nearside from bonnet to boot! This car has impressed me so much I have just bought a Jazz for the wife, and I am thinking of getting myself a 2.4 Accord (for fun).

Responses to this review

Have had my Civic Hybrid for three years and everything OK (except claimed mpg vastly exagerated). Recently have had the AA out 4 times for electrical faults and failure to start. Now keep getting warning lights. Would never consider buting Honda again. Previously had five Nissans - not a single fault in nine years - Ken Baker from Yorkshire
