‘06 Civic Hybrid

November 23rd, 2005

Click here for 4car’s impression of first Hybrid based on a car that’s not fundementally flawed.

UPDATE: Now Britian’s What Car? has driven it too; here’s an excerpt from their overview

Ride & Handling: 2 stars – All that electrical gubbins in the hybrid system adds weight to the Civic, and the car leans quite a lot in corners. This model is based on the US-spec Civic saloon, and the soft suspension makes the car float over crests. It doesn’t ride that well over bad surfaces, either, and the brakes tend to snatch.
