2004 Honda Civic Hybrid

Pros: Just like any other civic, but with great gas mileage!
Cons: Only cons were personal preference for something bigger.

We leased our Civic Hybrid in the fall of 2003. So, we've had a few years to base this review on. However, please note that we did just trade it in for an Accord Hybrid. The other vehicle is a Nissan Pathfinder Armada. I feel it is important you know ...

Pros: Comes just about fully loaded. Perfect size and comfort for a small person.
Cons: Bad city mpg. Not reliable at all.

I bought this car brand new, 6 months ago thinking that I would be getting a dependable car that gets good gas mileage and is good for the environment. I have had more problems with this new car in the past 6 months than I have ever had with a used car. ...

Pros: Drives like any other car, pollutes less, quiet ride. GREAT GAS MILEAGE !!!
Cons: Gas mileage is lower than hoped for in the beginning but now 50MPG per tank.

I just bought this car last week, so my impressions will be based on a very small time frame. But I will come back later and edit and add comments as necessary. I replaced a 13.5 mpg Chevy Avalanche, so any mileage gains I got would be gravy over the ...

Pros: Very solid, smooth ride, great performance and value
Cons: None found so far

After about two weeks of driving, this car has exceeded all expectations. It is a standard shift four door Civic Hybrid. I bought this car after considerable research on the JD Powers and other rating sites. The three main factors influencing my ...

Pros: Gas mileage, tightness and well made. Pep... tax credit. Fun to drive.
Cons: Seats are hard for long tips.

Have had this car since March 2004 and was purchased brand new. Now that it is broken in and after I learned on how to drive it (takes awhile) I will attempt a review. The gas mileage goes from 44 to 54 mpg depending upon how the vehicle is driven ...

Pros: Great fuel economy, no frills, reliable, comfortable.
Cons: Back seats don't fold down, hard to find service station with right oil for changing

I chose this over the Prius for a few reasons: 1) came in manual transmission (2005 was the last year for this, now no hybrids are offered in manual) 2) looks better than the Prius 3) didn't have to get used to a new way of driving. Overall I've ...

Pros: Smooth Transmission, Respectable MPG, Auto-stop feature
Cons: MPG sensitivity, Auto-stop during Summer/Winter rough

Just a quick note. I purchased my 2004 HCH CVT in November 2003 (expecting to purchase a 2003 model). A little over 6 months later, I am still really enjoying the car. The smooth transmission, the brilliant technology, and the all around coolness of ...

Pros: Nice riding car other than some vibrations when taking off from a dead stop.
Cons: Trained techs in hybrid technology stink.

I noticed a slight vibration the 1st year and reported it to my dealership. Their answer was to replace the trans fluid and flush it twice. Apx 20K miles and same problem. Their answer "A NEW transmission fluid was developed to correct this". Brought ...

Pros: Lines, responsiveness, gas mileage, Honda's support.
Cons: Driver's seat (stock), CD player (stock).

I'd decided that I wanted to get a hybrid vehicle. Though, the Toyota Prius drove fine, there were none available for purchase (for up to 4 months), and the 'expert' salesperson couldn't answer my questions. So, I went to the Honda dealer. Not only ...

Pros: It's a honda
Cons: My mileage is poor. After 1 year. I've lost 6-10 mpg

The body is fine, It's a great looking car. It looks like the other 04 Honda Civics. Mine is the Dark grey color, with the cool hybrid only wheels.

Pros: Gas is ~$30 month! Quiet and spunky.
Cons: Cloth interior

I decided to get the Honda because even though I have 6 in my family, 98 % of the time I was driving my youngest one with me on errands, and the gas on my Suburban was making me feel guilty at $150 month.

I got the Civic with no wait, walked in and bought it. I love it! It has great energy, drives very sporty, and the $20 gas tank lasts for over 430 miles! The gas mileage is even better when I drive on the highway. Overall I average 45 miles per gallon most the time, but can get 60+.

I am a large woman, and still fit quite well. The interior is cloth, which gets dirty. Leather was not an option

Pros: Love the gas mileage. I average between 46 and 48 mpg.
Cons: The vehicle is unreliable.

I purchased a 2004 Civic Hybrid in March. I am generally concerned about the environment and carbon pollution, and my husband is generally concerned about saving money on gas. Since that time, the vehicle has had three mechanical failures resulting in four trips to the repair shop. The first failure was at 1700 miles and related to a part that controlled the auto stop function. I had to be rescued by a tow truck. The fact that the car was $4000 more than a Civic EX makes me furious. I purchased a Honda because of their reputation for reliability and value. This vehicle has obviously failed to live up to its reputation.

Pros: great gas mileage!!
Cons: none to mention

only problem i have had was going up a very steep hill from complete stop...otherwise very much like a normal car, but with great gas mileage...love this car!!..do 80 on interstate with no problem..at this speed the mileage suffers a bit..but the speed it there if needed..
i average 40-42 mpg since i have had this car...lots of interstate driving..65-80 mph.
