I have purchased the Honda hybrid 2011 in hope, it will save me a gas and I do have respect of Honda as a car as well. For 25K cost you are expecting good quality and moreover ….. a hybrid efficiency of gas mileage, as it is advertised with the big numbers on the car sticker 40 city, 44 high way. Yes but NO. When I took the car of the dealer, for the first month, the gas mileage was fluctuating between 38-42 city in average 45-60 mileage /hr with the AC on 2bars of its power. After 3 months, went down to 28-33mlg/G. Took the car to the shop for the first time oil change and had them check the software and told the dealer what my concern was about. Was told there was a slide update and that’s it. Took the car off the shop and from the distance of approximately 30 miles it went up to 38 mlg / G. I was so happy!!! But after 3 days it went back to 28 Mlg/G and now is average 33.2 Mlg/ G. Was told from the dealers to keep the receipt for 3 full gas tanks and to come back. I did it. And after the second check was told that this is normal and was told that at the beginning the car was given good gas mileage, because it at March the weather is cold and the engine is ruining more efficiently!?!?!?!?! And I should be careful when buying a car because is it saying on the window sticker with tiny shrift that the real gas mileage is 33-37 in city. Yes it says that! So what is the conclusion DO NOT BUY HONDA civic HYBRID, there are much less costly cars on the market and with the regular engine, not being a hybrid and which one are approaching the same gas mileage 29-31 city. Buying HONDA civic hybrid is just not worth the money. This is the worst Hybrid on the market!
