“Have read many bad comments recently regarding hybrids...”

written by surreypuma on 20/08/2007

Good Points
Extremely economical, very cheap tax, comfy, heated seats, quiet interior, foot rest. The economy gauge helps you to drive at extremely good economy.

Bad Points
Handling not great but I did have an RX8 before! Not great up hills!

General Comments
Have read many bad comments recently regarding hybrids and how they are not good cars, so now I'm going to put the record straight.

My best tank mileage to date in my Honda Civic IMA 1300 is 691 miles, this was an average of 67.2 mpg doing 25 mile round trips mainly on B roads, basically Leatherhead to Gatwick airport. Average tanks I get around 600 miles at a cost of around £45 to fill up.

Couple this with the tax and group 8 insurance this car is fantastic and would recommend it to anyone! If you do a lot of motorway driving and like to take your time you will get very good mileage, if you like in London you wont, but then again you save on the CC!

Using the economy gauge keeps your foot lightly on the gas and the use of the stop function is great down hills as the engine will cut out yet steering is still working! All saves fuel!

If your fed up with paying too much tax and spending your life filling up with fuel then buy this car!
