2007 Honda Civic Hybrid

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

The stylish Civic Hybrid is definitely green. But when it comes to fitting your lifestyle, this technological marvel is also true-blue.
Smart Honda thinking has earned the revolutionary Civic Hybrid its Advanced Technology Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV) rating. You save on gas. The environment thanks you. But that's not the end of the story. The Civic Hybrid battery pack is also built to go the distance. It comes with an 8-year/80,000-mile warranty and all emissions-related equipment comes with a more extensive warranty. That means you will be enjoying great gas mileage along with high-tech amenities—like the two-tier instrument panel, and available navigation system—for a good long time.

Positive: The 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid includes the best voice-recognition system we've seen in a car. It has futuristic styling both inside and out, and the audio system accepts PC cards and has an auxiliary input jack.
Negative: Acceleration is decidedly underwhelming in the 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid. The car doesn't let you forget that it has a hybrid power train, and there is no Bluetooth cell phone integration.
Summary: The cabin of the 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid catapults the driver into a cool future where voice commands operate navigation and audio, but the rackety engine and the less-than-smooth power train serve as a reminder that hybrid development is still in its early stages.
