Consider Your Own Honda-Made Civic Hybrid

By Alice Palmer


More people nowadays would like to buy a more fuel-efficient vehicle. Most likely they're going to be considering a hybrid and the very best one on the market today is the Toyota Prius. Nevertheless, not everyone will find the Toyota Prius appealing so there are good options available from other companies like Honda.

Honda is well known for producing terrific value cars and have quietly produced a good line of hybrid vehicles. They are today recognized as the leaders of hybrid cars today. As a result of soaring fuel costs, hybrid cars can help cut the cost of fuel in half. In addition, if you live in the United States, you can get yourself a generous tax break when you purchase a hybrid.

Once you get a hybrid, you then have to choose which one you will want. If you have been or currently are an owner of a Honda vehicle, you might be happy to continue with Honda and get one of their hybrids. Even though the Honda Insight is a bit more reasonably priced, the Honda PGM-FI Hybrid may be the better option. The Honda PGM-FI always had exceptional fuel economy and now is greatly improved with hybrid technology. It's been graded as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero-Emission Automobile. With this status, you know that you will definitely be getting a car that is environmentally friendly. You should be able to run the distance using the integrated battery pack with an 8 year/80,000 mile warranty. You can expect that the Honda PGM-FI Hybrid can provide many years of great driving while protecting the environment.

The bottom cost of the 2011 Civic Hybrid is $23,950, and the MPG are 43 on the highway, 40 in the city, for an overall of 41. It is perfect for the person who wants an ordinary looking car that is a fuel-efficient hybrid. Even though the styling is not spectacular, the Honda PGM-FI is the standard for other compact cars to compare to. Not many alterations were made to the design of the 2011 Honda PGM-FI but expect a redesign very soon.

The prime three ranked fuel-efficient cars are Toyota Prius, Honda Insight and Honda PGM-FI, all hybrid vehicles, with the Prius receiving the best mileage. Most customers have their own preferences, so it is a matter of test driving each one, comparing what you like about all of them, and then making a decision. When fuel economy was the main factor, then the Prius could be the only option. If price is the main interest, then your best option is the Honda Insight.
