Honda Civic Hybrid - 2003 Honda Civic
By Richard - September 30 - 12:33 amExceeded my expectations in every respect. Overall mileage about 50. Easy to get 55 MPG on highway commute at 62-65 MPH. Better ride and acceleration than Insight, but Insight has "head turning styling" and better MPG. As reliable as any Honda or Toyota. I like Hondas use of the Hybrid Technology better than Toyotas.

Outstanding - 2003 Honda Civic
By wendellgee013 - August 18 - 10:00 amExcellent car. Not the fastest thing in the world, but more than adequate for any legal speed. Excellent handling. Crappy dealership tires (Firestones)- should be replaced at purchase. Aamzing interior.

Clean Machine - 2003 Honda Civic
By McScarry - August 8 - 2:00 amThis Hybrid is a great city car and performs well on the highway. It is small enough to park in the tightest street spots, but big enough for my 63", 250lb boyfriend, or 5 silly girls on a Saturday night. Trunk is big enough for a set of golf clubs +. It handles very well. Terrific turning radius. Very comfortable. Plenty of umph to get on the expressway or cruise to Ohio. I am getting 39-41 mpg. Love the safety features and that the cd player and cruise control are standard, although the speakers need an upgrade. Did expect a little better gas mileage, and would have loved a sun roof. All in all, I love my clean machine.

Great, Reliable Hybrid - 2003 Honda Civic
By Radar - August 6 - 3:12 pmI bought my Civic Hybrid new, and after six years have put in almost 89,000 miles. The mileage is great: I average 42-44 mpg with a mix of city and highway driving, and on long freeway trips I often get my mileage up to 51 mpg or better. I have only had two issues with the car so far: 1. The chrome covering on the door handles started peeling off and have cut my fingers on it a couple times. 2. In the last 6 months the car has started shuddering when I take off from a stop- -a common problem in Honda sedans from this year I hear? Still, the mileage is great and it has been otherwise very reliable. Im keeping this for one more year, and seriously considering a new one to replace it again.

You cant go wrong in a Honda - 2003 Honda Civic
By nycdriver - July 29 - 10:00 amThis review may be biased since Ive always owned Hondas (Civic 90 Hatchback, Integra LX 93, CR-V EX 99). Regardless, the 2003 CIVIC EX is a remarkable car if you were to drive it yourself. Honda reputation is alive and well in the 2003 Civic: performance, refinement, reliability, and value. Improvements over 2002 model are: center storage console with built- in armrest. Slightly redesigned tail- lights.

No complaints - 2003 Honda Civic
By PA commuter - July 18 - 9:40 pmSorry to hear about all the transmission problems. I have 83k on mine and no signs of auto tranny slippage. Averaging 35mpg city and 40+ highway. Ive found that if you drive above 70 on the highway, mpg declines dramatically. Bought the extended warranty in august of 2003 and never used it. Only complaint is that Im replacing the brake pads every 25k miles without intensive use.

A Very Good Car - 2003 Honda Civic
By Gs Honda - July 11 - 2:00 amI have owned this car for six months and have had no problems. I would expect a better sound system in the EX class. A good car overall.
