2003 Honda Civic Hybrid

Summary:
Other than the fact we are now on our 4th transmission the car has served it's pupose. 1st trans r/r at 26,xxx miles, 2nd at 54,xxx miles & the 3rd r/r at 104,xxx. The customer service at American Honda is horrible!!! Basically told us we are lucky they have covered the trans 3 times due to warranty. DONT BUY THIS CAR!Do you research, the CVT on this & many other Honda products is a problem.

Strengths:
gas mileage (44-49mpg)

Weaknesses:
Transmission problems, Loud road noise, seats very uncomfortable.

2007 Honda Civic Hybrid

Summary:
Don't buy a Honda Civic Hybrid if live in the Northeast and you want outstanding gas mileage. The sticker said 49/51mpg on my 2007. The 2008 says 40/45mpg. I don't get anywhere near that. My average is 32.4. I do both highway and city driving. I have done extensive reading on how to drive a hybrid to get the best gas mileage and made adjustment to my driving to no avail. I am sorry that I did not by a Prius. I have two friends who both get between 45 and 50 mpg routinely. I have called the company twice and they just tell me it depends on the driver. I am disgusted with the car.

Strengths:
The car is roomy for a small car.

Weaknesses:
Very poor gas mileage for $10,0000 price tag more than the non hybrid version.

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 ! ! !
