2009 Honda Civic Hybrid

The current financial crisis and the oil crisis that preceded it made a lot of people think more about the costs of having a car rather than its power or looks. It became more important to purchase a not very expensive car that would be able to transport you wherever you need with relatively small costs. This is why more and more people started to think more practically when buying a new car than before.

The Honda Civic was already a very popular car in the United States and not only, but it became a bit more attractive when the facelift was presented for the first time at the 2008 Paris auto show. However, we are not going to talk about any Civic sedan, but about the Civic Hybrid that comes with two engines: a 1.3 liter, 8 valve, i-VTEC gasoline powered engine and an electric motor that is very light. In order to make it efficient and pleasant to drive, Honda equipped this model with a CVT (continuously variable transmission) gearbox that will allow you to obtain reasonable fuel consumptions like 40 mpg for city driving and 45 mpg when you drive on highways. The facelift renewed the exterior looks and the Civic sedan is now more attractive, while the interior is still appreciated by most, especially in the ultimate trim level. Prices for the 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid start at 23,650 US dollars, but expect to pay more if you want additional features.
