2007

I've owned my 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid now for 3 years. It's been completely reliable with absolutely zero down time. I've had it in to the dealer once for a PCM update. I've replaced the tires and had a four-wheel alignment done. Other than that I just change oil every 4,000 miles (AMSOIL 5W20) and pour in gas every two weeks. I average 42 mpg in the summer when the AC is constantly running. In the winter I get 48-51 mpg depending on traffic. The first couple of months I had the car I was REALLY trying to see what sort of mileage I could get and was able to get 54-55 mpg, but it takes work and patience to achieve those sort of numbers. Now I floor the thing everywhere I go, run the AC when I want and even turn off the economy mode during the summer so that the AC will continue to run at stop lights, etc. I can live with mpg numbers in the 40's. Fuel prices no longer concern me when driving this car. Power is pretty much non-existent, but I have no problem keeping up with traffic and merging onto freeways. I thoroughly enjoy my daily commutes, listening to my XM radio and mindlessly traveling with the flow of traffic to and from work. Great little car.
