Honda Civic Hybrid
Have you ever thought about increasing your gas mileage and saving the environment at the same time? Actually, if you have thought about either, you might be at the right time to buy one of the many hybrid automobiles. How about the Honda Civic Hybrid?
The first thing some people thing when they hear the term “hybrid” is expense. These cars have been somewhat pricy to purchase as well as to maintain. This concern is answered in the Honda Civic Hybrid.
This car ranks near the top of the list for affordability in a small car. When looking at the Honda Civic Hybrid car, one thing stands out: it looks like a normal car. While some people might buy other hybrids just so they can stand out from everyone else with their unique look, the Honda Civic Hybrid closely resembles a Honda civic.
The Honda Civic Hybrid comes only in a four door version. While the exterior is visually appealing, the interior is as well. What else do you expect from Honda? A roomy and comfortable driver and passenger area. Before you get too excited, please keep in mind that it is a small car. Performance with the Honda Civic Hybrid could be a little bit better, but what you lose in performance is well compensated by the fuel economy. The dashboard has a handy display that shows how much electricity is being sent to the battery. This might help you train your driving style to use as much electric power as possible. While the car is rated at 49 miles per gallon, the actual mileage usually doesn’t reach that level. You probably should expect a miles per gallon figure that is in the low 40s. Finally we come to cost. When it comes to repairs for the electric part of the car’s engine, expect higher costs. Batteries are of particular concern, so be prepared to accept higher maintenance costs in some regards.
Total cost of ownership data have not been published yet for the 2010 model, but for the 2009 model, cost of ownership over the first five years is estimated at $46,463. It will be even lower if you consider checking our used hybrid cars. This is assuming that you will drive around 20,000 miles each year. Overall, the Honda Civic Hybrid is the best in style and comfort of all the hybrids right now, and is the one to get as long as you don’t mind a little sluggishness in performance.

Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid
I’ve always been a fan of green technology, and ever since the hybrid automobiles market began to expand in the early 2000’s, I’ve been coveting one. Luckily, a few months ago, I finally came across the money to pick myself up a brand-new hybrid- a move which I’ve been looking forward to for nearly nine years. In my search, I came across a wealth of information which helped me in my final decision, and in the end, I picked myself up a posh new Chevrolet Malibu. More than a few thousand dollars later, I’m happy to say that, in retrospect, it was more than an excellent investment.
The first thing that I noticed after getting the car home was it’s attractive styling. With sleek curves, a distinct, modern aesthetic and clean, crisp interior, I honestly can’t think of a single complaint so far as flair goes. The interior was even multi-toned, a simple touch which still gets compliments from friends and passengers.
Aside from attractiveness, the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu hybrid works near-perfectly, as well. As time has passed, I’ve found that the gas mileage isn’t quite what I thought it would be, but it’s still considerably more efficient than any car I’ve owned in the past, getting roughly 30 MPG on average.
Also, I find it to be noteworthy that the Malibu’s occasional switches between gas and electricity are noticeably more streamlined than in the other cars which I took time to test drive, considerably detracting from the clunky feeling which usually comes along with hybrid cars. While the Malibu drives unusually far, it also drives unusually well. The power steering is like floating on a cloud, and the cruise control makes otherwise tedious trips practically effortless.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve never really experienced anything quite like driving the Malibu. This might have something to do with the fact that I haven’t purchased a new car in five-odd years, but my point still stands. All and all, the 2010 Malibu Hybrid is an excellent car. It’s even better than any of the hybrid trucks I’ve driven.
If you’re looking to pick up a hybrid, I’d recommend it over all others, especially considering that I spent nearly three solid weeks sampling nearly every alternative. To sum it up- it’s fast, it’s clean, it’s green, and it drives like a dream.
