A Fresher Civic

Honda Civic is a compact car manufactured by Honda. It quickly became a favorite in America after its introduction in 1972. By then, Honda is known for its motorcycles, but it later changed its known image as a car manufacturer after the release of the civic.

The Civic hybrid version became available in 2003, which used both a small 1.3 liters main gasoline engine and auxiliary electric motors

Today a carryover of the old 2007 Civic is being produced which is named as 2008 Civic Hybrid. It is a 4-door, 5-passenger family sedan, available in two trims, the CVT AT-PZEV and the CVT AT-PZEV w/ Navigation System.



“Both trims are equipped with a standard 1.3-liter, I4, 110-horsepower, hybrid engine that achieves 40-mpg in the city and 45-mpg on the highway. A variable speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.” Most find the 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid's ride similar to the conventional Civics’.

Compared to its predecessors, the redesigned Civic looks "futuristic." It doesn’t look quite racy but it definitely is much fresher looking.

It has the following classy and very futuristic interior features; a Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™** with Voice Recognition; 160-Watt AM/FM/CD Audio System with 6 Speakers; and an average Fuel Consumption Indicator.

The Civic provides a long list of standard safety equipment including daytime running lights, and a four-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD).

The EPA testifies that the Civic hybrid gets 49 mpg in city driving and 51 on the highway. This is truly fuel economic.
