Honda Civic Hybrid
|
| Although this Honda hybrid doesn’t always get the most publicity, it always provides great value, and the 2008 model is no exception. The combination of a good price, low depreciation, and excellent fuel economy made this vehicle the Best Hybrid Value in America™, outpacing the rock star of the hybrid world – the Toyota Prius. The Civic’s strengths were evident across the board, as it showed to be a better value in all three annual mileage scenarios measured. |
