Default ’06 Civics set new benchmark, but Hybrid costs you in 2 ways

Quote:
....The hybrid, which comes only with a stepless or "continuously variable" automatic, is rated significantly higher by the EPA - at 49 mpg in the city and 51 on the highway.

Impressive, for sure, but Civic Hybrid drivers pay a price for being able to thumb their noses at Big Oil and help save the planet - in higher purchase price and lower performance....
As reported on Newsday.com
