The good:
Hybrid power assist; improved fuel economy; solid road feel; extended warranty on parts.
The bad:
Short on torque; not efficient as Toyota Prius; noisy; lacks digital entertainment, navigation, and communication options.
The bottom line:
Honda takes an old favorite and makes it even more ecofriendly and economical, but the Civic Hybrid can't keep up with the Toyota Prius's performance.
