The Honda Civic Hybrid has been a wonderful little commuter car for me. While you make some sacrifices, especially in power, with this vehicle, it has been among the most reliable cars I have ever had and by far provides the best gas economy. I live in Colorado and it even does alright in the snow with some all season tires for my 50 mile round-trip daily commute. It is relatively comfortable inside and has a decent ride for a very basic car. It also offers a surprisingly spacious trunk and though a tight fit, was able to accommodate my bicycle and also my snowboard on a separate occasion. Although, for the snowboard I had to use the pass-through so you lose a seat. I would not recommend this car if you plan on doing a lot of mountain driving as it only packs a 1.3L engine and I feel would struggle mightily in the mountains even with the battery assist. I recommend this car highly for the right reasons. If you are looking for an extremely reliable commuter that you won't have to fill up often, you should seriously consider a Honda Civic Hybrid. On my 1/2 highway, 1/2 city commute I am averaging roughly 33mpg per tank.

The car itself has been a blast since I first started driving it. It came with all the bells and whistles to start with and when I first drove it I knew it would be the car for me. The gas mileage is amazing and it’s been an excellent car for me as I drive a daily commute of 18 miles. I’ve only had the vehicle for the span of a few months but it has been very reliable in all aspects that I have needed it thus far. There have been no mechanical or electrical problems as of yet and it always runs strong for me. I can see myself in this vehicle for many years to come.
