Hi


i have just got my CIVIC hybrid and all i can say its amazing - folks its not a car that you can burn rubber with , and frankly if you need a car to burn rubber with then buy an audi/bmw or something to that extent. the normal civic is phenomenol but it does struggle with the mileage.


the car functioning is SEAMLESS and brilliant, its been only 48 hrs that i have the car but have driven inaround delhi, the car is returning 15.5kms /l average...... compare it to the 9.5-10kms that a normal civic would do.


the only only down side is that the spare tyre is a doughnut and not a full tyre!, (why would Honda not give this as a full tyre specially when the main tyers are Goodyear NCT ( Made in India),  also i liked the double barallel exhausts on the rear , my hybrid has only one!!!!:-)


any one looking at buying a civic in the next 2-3 months,  my take is defer the decesion , watch this space, am sure Honda will react to the fact that the Hybrid will FLY off the shelves at 13-14.5lacs bracket..... 


i am and will always be a what we call a "petrol head" with a manual gearbox ,  Honda has done a good JOB!


regards

everything about car is good...xcpt for the those SCI-FI wheels... are there other options available????

Rohit on 01 Feb, 2009 at 12:15 PM

a hybrid is a dual power technology which uses gasoline and battery - best is to read it on the honda civic site or even on the internet.

Rohit on 27 Jan, 2009 at 09:30 PM

Hi part 2: on the suspension, historically jap cars are light at the back versus european cars. once you drive both cars , you will see the diff... mileage: the hybrid is returning close to 16-17 in city drives< without A/C ( its winters here) end deal - no complaints whats so ever on the hybrid> next time honda gets them to the market, truly truly contempelate this vehicle, rohit

Rohit on 27 Jan, 2009 at 09:26 PM

Hi there two issue, the Hybrid is not available any more or till march 31st> also the jetta is a bit more expensive. The jetta is a very very capable car and if it wasnt for Hoda crashing the prices for the hybrid i would have gone in for the diesel version of the jetta. spec to spec on the interirors the civic is a better appointed car< more leathers, autommatic climate control etc. where as this all is in the top end jetta which becomes a shade too expensive ...

i am contemplating between buying a civic hybrid or jetta.....the only con i ve heard of civic is...that its low suspension/ground clearance..doesnt let u drive at all the places in delhi...given the fact...delhi roads are loaded with potholes....wat say?

Rohit on 11 Dec, 2008 at 07:10 PM

by original do you mean the normal Civic, if thats the case then the normal civic returns 9.5/10kms liter in city
