TO THE POINTWhat’s New? With daring new styling, a more powerful and fuel-efficient powertrain, added interior space, and a bigger trunk, the redesigned 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid is also more fun to drive while getting better gas mileage. Selling Points: Sleek styling, sophisticated engineering, comfortable front and rear seats, lots of standard safety equipment, reputation for reliability, excellent fuel economy Deal Breakers: Funky dash design, not as roomy or utilitarian as a Toyota Prius Our Advice: If high fuel prices and long waiting lists at the Toyota dealer have got you down, the redesigned 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid might be just the cure for what ails.
More comfortable seating, front and rear, is one benefit of the 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid redesign. Four six-footers can fit inside the Civic Hybrid, and those in the back seat won’t lack head or legroom, though it’s not as roomy back there as the Toyota Prius. Unlike other Civic sedans, the Hybrid doesn’t get a fold-down rear center armrest.
