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!

Got this car to replace a diesel Mondeo and try and cut costs. We have three young kids and two booster seats and a big car seat fit in the back no problem. The only thing is the boot is relatively small (and I agree with another reviewer, I thought there was a trim panel missing on the boot lid and took it back to the dealers!) and rear seat doesn't fold due to battery.
To drive, it just feels like a normal 1.5 saloon with a couple of extra dials! It's not the fastest car in the world but that ...

Very pleased with my Honda Civic IMA 1300 overall, it's excellent for city driving, economical and absolutely reliable. In London this car cries out for an automatic version, which was made when I bought this one but not available in UK.
Has good build quality, even excellent in some respects. Very comfortable for driver & passengers with leather seats as standard. Climate control as standard is a nice touch. It's environmentally friendly so road fund licence now dropped to about £ ...

We've owned our Civic IMA since new from 1 Mar 04. Prior to that we'd owned mainly diesel cars so we were used to getting 50+ mpg. The average mpg according to the trip computer is 48.1 mpg since new. This is mixed driving, long and short journeys, sometimes with just the driver, other times with a full load. On occasion we've managed just over 60 mpg on a tankful of fuel. The car has been serviced once at 12,500 miles and this cost just over £120, quite expensive for what is not much more ...

As a company car driver, I find the Honda Civic IMA 1300 ideal. I previously had a people carrier but the emissions on the civic are so low that you even get a 1% bonus below the minimum tax bracket.
Also, at purchase time the Government paid £1000.00 towards the cost of the car, and you do not need to pay congestion charges.
The car itself is very nicely finished, nothing looks like cheap plastic. I have owned it for nearly 2 years now and have had no problems at all.
The engine is des ...

We are a family of four including two lads under 10. Our Honda Civic IMA was purchased as a second vehicle to run around locally and provide a back-up to our MPV in case of emergency.
At the time of purchase we wanted a cheap car to run that would be reliable yet provide comfort. We were not too concerned about boot space or its ability to cover long distance and wanted an environmentally friendly vehicle.
The Honda Civic IMA was selected and we have been using it for best part of a year ...
