Question of the A/C on the Honda Civic Hybrid
I have an Escape Hybrid and love it. My fiancee will be getting a new car here soon and is leaning toward a Civic Hybrid. We haven't tested one yet, but she likes the look and the idea of it.
She has one concern, though. The only thing that she doesn't like about my Escape is the A/C. On the Escape Hybrid, there are 3 A/C settings: 2 of them will allow the engine to shut off during idle but the air starts to warm up, 1 of them will keep the engine on during idle to keep the air cold. So, you have to decide if you want cool air or better gas mileage.
Does the Civic Hybrid have any similar issues? I thought I heard something about an electric compressor for the A/C. Is that true?
Thanks for any info,
Mark
