Honda's reputation for practical economy shows in the Civic Hybrid, well built and simply designed to sip fuel. Interior tech options are usefully done, making this Honda a great commuter sedan.
Honda redesigned its Civic last year, modernizing the body style. The Civic is offered in a number of different configurations, from the sporty SI model to this hybrid version.
The band containing the headlight enclosures and grille sets up a demarcation between the molded bumper and the upper body work. The hood and fenders seem to float above the grille band.
The interior of the Civic is well constructed but basic, befitting its class. However, the Civic gets some interesting buttons when it comes with a GPS navigation system.
Honda's navigation system is excellent. Its POI database offers the same listings you might find in the yellow pages, such as restaurants and retail stores.
