2008 Honda Civic Hybrid Professional Reviews:

CarGurus has reviewed the 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid and given out”The interior of the 2008 Civic Hybrid is well-appointed, with full power features, remote entry, wheel-mounted cruise and audio controls, a 6-speaker CD/MP3 player with radio data, tilt and telescopic steering, a trip computer, a tachometer and temperature display on the two-tier dash, and a security system. Intermittent wipers and tilt and telescopic steering are also standard. ”

carseek has reviewed the 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid and given out”Civic offers a Satellite Navigation System that is voice-activated, a powerful 110 watt stereo system, and air conditioning with its own motor to keep you cool, even when stopped. Although the Civic misses in the category of performance, with other hybrids such as Prius being better highway performers, overall the style, fit and finish of the 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid still keeps it high on the list of top hybrid sedans.”

TheCarConnection has reviewed the 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid and given out”To the stock equipment of the sedan and coupe, the Hybrid adds remote keyless entry, steering-wheel audio controls, and a 160-watt audio system with an auxiliary jack for your MP3 player. Automatic climate control is standard, along with 15-inch wheels and tires. And no folding rear seat can be ordered, because that’s where the battery lives.”

      What are the major difference between a Honda Civic and a Honda Civic Hybrid (2008)?
      Please answer if you have owned both!

      I am looking to buy a Honda Civic and cant decide if I want a hybrid or not. I really wanted leather but I rather have higher gas milage.

      What are the pros and cons of both?

      The only Civic I have ever owned is a 2008 hybrid.

      The major difference between the two is that the hybrid has a smaller gas engine but also has an electric engine and a large bank of batteries to run the electric engine when additional power is needed, such as when you are accelerating or going up hills. The batteries are normally charged when there is extra power, such as when decelerating or going down hills. This increases gasoline mileage significantly.

      The higher milage is the biggest pro for the hybrid. Another pro is that in some locations a single person in a hybrid is allowed to drive in the “car pool” lanes.

      The cons are:

      -A higher price
      -You cannot fold down the rear seatbacks to put larger items in the back.
      -Fewer mechanics qualified to work on the hybrid electrical system if anything goes wrong with it, which is unlikely.
      -Fewer trim levels, so you cannot order one with some particular options such as leather seats or a moonroof.
