Honda Civic hybrid is great on gas. It will auto stop.
A Honda Civic hybrid is really good on gas. It's a great commuter car. It's a great size because it's not too big or too small. It's four door which is convenient. There has been a strange sound that might be related to my transmission. Not too many problems with it. The speed pick-up isn't too bad when gaining speed for the freeway.

Honda Civic with beautiful interior and cheap with gas !
My car is small but just right for me! Saves a lot of money with gas and is extremely comfortable and the interior is very nice and looks new for a relatively 'older' car. The only thing I would change is how close it is to the ground. Other than that, my car is perfect!

A silver 2006 Honda Civic hybrid
Jerks, hard to go up hills, rolls back on hills, resists and makes a weird noise going up hills. It is a great gas saver car but it does make a ton of weird noises when you are accelerating especially going up a hill. It resists going up hills it feels like you have to floor the gas pedal to go up a steep hill at 25 miles an hour

Good car, reliable, money saving and spacious.
My Civic Hybrid has been great. I've had it since high school and it is still chugging along. Being a hybrid I save money on gas and feel better about the environment. It has leather seats and is spacious for a smaller car. I have had only minor issues with the car that were easily fixed.

2006 Honda Civic Hybrid- Good and bad
My Civic has been reliable for the most part. It has 257000 miles on it so it's starting to fail a little bit. It sometimes doesn't want to go fast when I need it to. The mpg is great- usually about 32. Also, my integrated motor assist light is always on, which means the battery is going to die soon. The cost of replacing my battery is more than the car is worth.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Clara R.

It is been extremely reliable even after 225,000 miles. It is a very comfortable and smooth ride, while the interior has a very sleek look. Many areas do not require this vehicle to be smog checked because it is a hybrid.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Clara R.

This vehicle does not have great acceleration. It is very low sitting so it often scrapes over bumps and dips. This car works well for people who are not over six feet tall, otherwise they would be somewhat cramped.

Yes, I've been very happy with it. It's got great gas mileage as well. Unfortunately the AC went on it this week so I am looking to get a new vehicle. I'm really sad about it, I love this car!

I think they're going for around $8K, just because it's such a reliable vehicle, even though it is old. It was definitely a great value when I bought it, 13 years ago
