2003 Honda Civic Hybrid Reviews

really slow not exactly the funnest car to drive but nice car in general and gets amazing gas mileage but not really a car for a teenager who likes to go fast haha 0-60 in probably 13 seconds ha

Mileage varies depending on where and how it's driven. I can squeeze 50 mpg out of it in the mountains in the summer, but my husband has only managed 42. Winter driving = worse mileage, partly because of the gas formulation for winter, and partly because of the added weight and stickiness of the snow tires and steel rims. It also doesn't shut off at lights on very cold days, so there's a lot of idling.

It's handling is surprisingly good on Vermont's mud roads in the spring, and with good tires, does great in the snow, too. It's much better in bad conditions than the 4wd Volvo that preceded it. It's not pretty, but it's a decent car.

I'd give it better marks if the AC compressor were more reliable, and the company was more proactive about updating the firmware to keep the catalytic converters from melting. Many people have paid tons of money on replacing the cats, when the company should have done it for them and updated the software for free.

Had it for 8 months and put 45,000kms...boring. *yawn*

I love my car. I bought it after the Volkswagen I previously owned imploded. No mechanical worries here.
