Looking for a relief from high gas prices but still want the same comfort and reliability as your good 'ol reliable Civic? Feeling like the new Insight lacks in features or is just not roomy enough? Is the Prius a bit too quirky looking for your tastes? You are not alone. Enter the sleek and stylish Honda Civic Hybrid. Offering up to 45 mpg on the highway, the 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid comes fully loaded with a 110 hp, 8 valve, 4 cylinder engine, continuously variable transmission (CVT), steering wheel-mounted controls, automatic climate control, power windows, mirrors and door locks. You also have the option for heated/leather seating and a Satellite Linked Navigation System with Bluetooth connectivity.

In 2009, US News and World Report ranked the Civic Hybrid #3 out of 35 on its list of affordable small cars. And for all the Canucks out there, the Honda Civic Hybrid is currently the most affordable hybrid in Canada and Energuide rated the vehicle as the most fuel efficient compact car in 2009. If you are seriously thinking about buying a hybrid car with superior gas mileage that also offers all the benefits of a conventional sedan, you'll want to check out the Honda Civic Hybrid.

The Civic Hybrid is a low-emission vehicle with a Tier 2 Bin 2 rating that delivers maximum fuel efficiency using a compact 1.3-litre, i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine with the added boost of the self-sufficient Integrated Motor Assist IMA® system. As Honda puts it, doing your part to save the planet has never been easier or more exhilarating!

If you are looking for a larger, fuel efficient, family-sized vehicle, we also recommend you consider the completely redesigned 2011 Toyota Sienna and the compact SUV crossover Toyota RAV4. There is already a hybrid version for the Toyota Estima, the Japanese version of the Sienna and it is likely that the Sienna Hybrid (when it comes out) will be the first hybrid minivan for the North American market.
