$24000.00
from Klein Honda of Evere Year / Model Reviewed: 2004 Civic Hybrid Summary: I mainly bought the car for it's hybrid option. I do average about 42 town and 46 highway on mpg.
I have had two transmission replacements so far, the first one at about 50k and the second at about 90k with problems starting at about 3k, all under warranty. They tried changing fluid a couple of times and updating or reinstalling the software mutiple times at the direction of Honda Motor Corp. Nothing has worked so far. Other than the transmission problems, I do like the car as a whole. Don't know if I'd ever buy another one though.....
The dealership has tried everything in their power to correct the problem, they've been great to deal with. Strengths: If you can keep a heavy foot off the the gas, you can come really close to the estimated MPG. You have to also modify your driving direction and keep to more level ground while driving to get the better mileage, it can take a few minutes longer but is worth the MPG. The rest of the car is great..... Weaknesses: THE TRANSMISSION ! ! !
