The brakes are adequate for the car's svelte 2,868-pound curb weight, with power-assisted discs at the front and drums at the rear. The driving experience may not be particularly sporty or engaging, but that isn't the reason anyone buys a Civic Hybrid.
After a lukewarm reception for the redesigned 2012 Civic, Honda rushed a significant facelift for 2013. Its exterior has a more masculine shape, with a new grille and reconfigured taillights. A Civic Hybrid's interior comes well-equipped with features such as: cruise control, power locks and Bluetooth hands-free integration as standard. Interior room has been increased, allowing for a more comfortable seating experience, especially in the rear. The 10.7 cubic-foot trunk is, however, tiny.
