Honda Civic Hybrid Review

[Hope4DreamKDE]

I want that car sooooooooooooo bad.

[monkeyturd15]

my b18c swapped ek hatch gets like 35mpg lol so why drive around in this lol

[mb013962]

wheres part 2?

[TheManInDboX]

LMAO.. The 1984 CRX HF got better MPG and didn't look like a spaceship..

[Annihilator1111]

the 2006-2011 Honda Civic Hybrid is assembled in

Suzuka, Mie, Japan

[tscanny90]

part or all of this test was done in Atlantic City, NJ wasn't it?

[mpgomatic]

@tscanny90 Yep, part of it.

[TheNinjaHulk]

Shouldn't the dash backlight be like green?

[ExzLLLL]

you sound smug, jus sayin. 

[d4rkfuzion]

whats the best fuel grade to put in these 2005+ hybrid (87, 89, 93etc)??

[kosokuadam]

@d4rkfuzion Anything other than 87 is a waste in these kinds of cars (though some higher-end luxury hybrids may require premium).

[turdsandwicher]

@d4rkfuzion would imagine 87 as its a 1.3 so not a performance motor. Some might say 93 helps performance and cleans out your fuel systems but thats debatable.

[sideslide23]

better than the 05 models and older because the older hybrids are POS they have week AC they stink, there loude and very cramped.

[mrandmrsbiscuits]

love this car

[kosokuadam]

How's the power on these cars? I mean, can they handle luggage and a few passengers?

[tnguyen318]

110 Horsepower 120 lb. ft. of Torque. It can easily handle luggage and a few passengers. All for driving clean and eco-friendly.

[JayKayR1]

I can't believe i just saw a toyota ad in a honda civic video.

[DrunkenDriverStudios]

I have one, but top gear hates it so i'm a bit embarassed :3

[nguyenhongoe]

i love the car, getting one for myself this weekends. 2006 hybrid civic, love they way it looks, how it runs. best car ever.

[CarbineGuy]

Worst rims ever.

[aftermathsample305]

wonderful car, i think i like it more than the prius :)

[boobmasteris]

why didnt they put such an ugly body on such a great car?????????????

[NikeSBDunkman23]

I would put the civic si bodykit on it to make it look cooler and possibly more aerodynamic

[k00lball3r]

I have the Si model and its the best out of all civics from 2006-2011.

[nathanmoree]

GAYYYYYY.......!

[blazzing4321]

fusion is betta!

[desimunda116]

I saw many reviews of the Hybrid and all of them had were very interesting. Therefore, I made my decision to get an Si.

[Twixx32]

hmm my outlander does 42 mpg and it has a 2.0 tdi engine 180 hp 400 Nm from vw ..and it sure is twice as fast as this civic..

[desimunda116]

lol I have the exact opposite model of the Civic, the Si.

[hybridindian]

Nice video but is it fair to call it an 'iPod jack' when you showed just an aux cable connection? Meaning it could connect any MP3 player.

Just saying since reviews should be bias.

Regardless, keep up the great work!

[tzbnks]

this is the car i had to used during drivers ed and my road test. i thought it was a good car. i wouldve considered buying or leasing it if it wasnt for the insane cost of insurance for this car for someone my age

[kenneykole]

Nice Civic!

I love civic. My buddy have 2009 Honda Civic SI - high perfromance 1.8L I4 - 240+ hp. and it was fast. But the gas mileage is not good as hybrid, lol.

My dad have a 2003 Honda Insight - 1.0L 3 cylinder - hybrid - 93 hp.

and he gets around 70+ mpg in the hihgway, 60s in the city and the accleration is not too bad.

I can't believe about new Insight use more gas. Because they made a bigger car. for more room.

[joker11asr]

where did you get all of these cars ?!

[mpgomatic]

All our review cars come from the manufacturers.

[heartlessvietboy]

That's not Honda. That's American Wall Street Company.

[GoMetricToday]

I don't have a Civic Hybrid, but I do have a 2010 Insight and I average close to 900 km on a tank of gas.

[kenneykole]

@GoMetricToday

Congratulations you have one!

That great! you are getting 40 in the city and 43 in the highway.

Sound like it use more gas than older model.

Because my dad have a 2003 insight , which is smaller car than new one.

He gets 60s in the city and 70+ in the highway.

[GoMetricToday]

@kenneykole Those are only EPA estimates. Not real world driving. Since my last post I have increased my economy to 4.7 L/100 km city and 3.9 L/100 km highway. Much better than EPA estimates.

[kris1991]

@GoMetricToday It's also SLOW as SHIT. Enjoy your hybrid while real men drive real cars with only gas engines.

[GoMetricToday]

@kris1991 While you are partially right. Hybrids can be slow but mostly by choice. Many people who drive hybrids tend to be lighter on the accelerator than drivers of non-hybrids. Honestly I love the look that I get when someone stops behind me at a traffic light. I often joke that my car goes from 0 to 100 when it feels like it. LOL

[Kennedale01]

@kris1991 Some of us having nothing to prove...especially to guys who spell Chris with a K. "Real men", LOL!

[IIGrayfoxII]

@GoMetricToday

i want to get this as my next car, have 30K saved so far

[matthewdennis2009]

what is the assist for?

explain the charge and assist please and thank you

[ale03000]

I do have some questions for Civic Hybrid owners.

How far could you travel the furthest with a full tank of fuel without refueling? Is it possible to travel 1000 km or more on long trips without refueling? Thanks.

[ChueHang17]

I manage to get about 750 km which it's roughly about 460 miles mix city and hwy driving in my 08 civic hybrid before, and it usually only take about 9 gallons to fill up afterward. the civic hybrid claim to have a 12 gallons gas tank but I never really use up any more than 10 gallons before.

And I haven't really try only hwy drivings until it's time to fill up, maybe I'll try is sometime in the future like taking a trip to Los Angeles California or something.

[chemisry1]

@ale03000 The most I've ever gotten on a full tank has been around 790 miles on a long trip. That was achieved with babying it, though. You get out of them what you put in. In other words, if you drive it like a normal car (AC blasting and lead foot), you will not get very good gas mileage. With dropping my speed back about 5 mph under the posted speed limit, I average 48 mpg on my 2005 HCH...and love it! It is close to turning over 120,000 miles now.

[ale03000]

@chemisry1 That is around 1270km? That is superb hyper-miling skills, thanks :).

[heartlessvietboy]

Babying it is taking care of it. You are not taking care of it, you are not hitting the gas or you are driving efficient. That is what I assume.

[praetorian2150]

i like the civic hybrid but those wheels gotta go lol

[elitecssplayer]

hahah lmao, WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THEM WHEELS!?! They have got to be the ugliest things I've ever laid my eyes on! lol

[Rarrin9378]

@praetorian2150 what is what i was thinking too...

[Rarrin9378]

@praetorian2150 That is what i was thinking too.

[halim124]

@praetorian2150 ya i said the same thing to my dad when we got the car i hate the wheels

[IIGrayfoxII]

@praetorian2150

i know, what were honda thinking with those rims

[TimpBizkit]

If I was allowed a car at Bath University (and it wasn't so expensive), this would be the perfect car for me!

I could use the regenerative braking all the way down Bathwick Hill, then drive all around town on the power I've generated, then switch on the petrol engine to whizz back up the hill, then use the electric motor to drive back along the flat and park up! The only fuel used would be to drive up the mile of hill - which a normal car would need anyway.

[soldieroffortune7]

Except that the civic hybrid can't drive on the electric motor alone

[TimpBizkit]

Maybe a Prius would work better for me

[ale03000]

If I'm not mistaken the Toyota Prius is the most efficient car that runs on fuel/petrol, or it has the best fuel efficiency in the world, so it's a good choice as well.

[quantummechanic90]

@ale03000

No. There are plenty of vehicles that get much, much better mileage than the Prius.

I'll give you an example: The new VW Polo gets 52.3mpg urban (city)/78.5 extra-urban (highway), a combined of 65.7mpg.

The new XJ from Jaguar equipped with a diesel will get 40.1mpg combined, which is a little less than the Prius, yet it can do 0-60 in 6 seconds. Those are just a couple of several cars that are capable of higher mileage, while being better looking and..well, a better all around car.

[quantummechanic90]

@ale03000

No, not the Polo, as well as several other non-hybrid vehicles that also get better mileage.

But the Prius really isn't close to the most fuel efficient vehicle in the world. It has to be one of the worst cars ever made, considering how expensive it is and how poorly it is made.

If you want to get a vehicle with good mileage, please reconsider before buying a Prius if you are plan on buying one.

If you are looking to buy a new car, good luck in your search.

[22hellman22]

u live is a sh!t country

[CarbineGuy]

@quantummechanic90 Yeah agreed. People in America don't hear about other cars that do MUCH better than the Prius around the world. (I am from America by the way, so I'm not being stereotypical or anything) In Europe, it's not uncommon to see cars that get 60+MPG. Seems like those kinda cars just aren't accepted here.

[ale03000]

It can but only on low speed cruising and the fuel consumption rate is 0 at that time.

[TheAgent06]

yeah the second half if the xtra fortune you have to spend to get your ipod friendly with this car....the ipod intergration on this car is a mess, expensive, and doesnt work very well...honda should of made a deal with Microsoft with the Sync System.

[billtruttschel]

The iPod integration is quick and easy...I'm not sure what you're talking about. It's just plug and play. I'm not sure what more you could ask for.

[billtruttschel]

The narrator makes a mistake at 0:55 by saying that the engine quickly comes to life after stepping on the accelerator. That is incorrect. The engine re-starts after taking your foot off of the brake.

[ReliabilityCheck]

that means the same thing.

[billtruttschel]

No, it doesn't mean the same thing. You can take your foot off the brake without stepping on the accelerator.

[ale03000]

I love the car :)...

[michaellives]

taah!! it looks uglier than the older one!!

[clayton4115]

lol american junk, you are right, billions of dollars lost, noone wants over priced junk!

[stephenswickedcool]

Only one problem, its not american made.

[Xiber1]

would never buy it if it was American made, American made cars are nothing more than junks, no one wants them.

[stephenswickedcool]

Yeah, the Crown victoria was junk, that thing was so unreliable and gas inneffecient. The ford Focus, Fusion, and F series all suck. The Chevy Malibu is horrible on gas and is unsafe, the Impala sucked big balls. Why don't you stop supporting an economy that gets its low prices because the government controls salary, and start supporting your own fucking country. Support America or get the fuck out asshole.

[Xiber1]

Toyota Camry, Honda Accord's are made mostly of American parts and assembled in USA by American workers, these cars are more American than Chevy, Ford, Cadillac these cars are made mostly of parts made in China, Korea and assembled in Canada or Mexico. Go to a dealer and check the parts content on the sticker and assembly point before making comments out of your ignorance. Go get an education

[stephenswickedcool]

You don't get it do you? Most of the money is made off the design. Education means absolutely nothing, its research that counts. I have absolutely no problem if Ford or GM or Chevy use China to get their cheap labor and manufacturing. The majority of the costs of a car are in design.

[GKZ28]

Is there any difference between a 07 & 08 Civic Hybrid? Good review.

[stephenswickedcool]

No, they released a new car with no changes.

[giantquesadilla]

Not really. The '06-'09 are all 8th generation Civics, and second generation Civic Hybrids. They are almost exactly the same with small differences. One of the main differences between the '07 and '08 is that the '08 has tire pressure monitoring.

[ironmanaldrich]

Good review on a good car.
