Geoff
Can you tell me who fixed your Honda civic hybrid car that you can drive 900 kilometre for 50 litre petrol this is 18 kilometre per litre. I also have the same hybrid Honda civic model as yours. It does only 14.7 kilometres per litre. Mr Henderson General Manager mechanic of Honda New Zealand LTD New Market New Zealand tells me that he cannot fix it; he was rude to me as well.

I want my Honda Hybrid runs like yours. Geoff, can you tell me which mechanic I should go to fix my car. There seems that there is no qualified mechanic at Honda New Zealand LTD who would able to repair my Honda Hybrid.

I am not satisfied Honda Civic Hybrid

I enjoyed reading the article on Honda v Toyota hybrids, and the various comments.
I opted for the Honda Civic based mainly on the fact that it looks more like a normal styled car.
In England we have a really marvellous system for bleeding the motorist of his cash, namely the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) and exhaust emissions.
My previous car a Nissan Tino 1.8 auto had a VED of £245 per year.
The Honda Civic hybrid has a VED of £10 per year,(as does the Toyota Prius), I’m already £235 in pocket.
It was a matter of personal preference, I’m not out to be a “Greenie goody two shoes”, anyway I dont like sandals and socks worn together!!
Just my shillings worth.

Steve, Does your car have no battery to start it? If you saw a Prius battery you would know, not so big and heavy. Guaranteed 8 years. How long will your conventional battery last?
Hybrids get the fuel economy without the noise and vibration of diesel. Nor do you get the diesel on your hands from a dirty fuel station pump.
Next, hybrids are much more reliable.
Working for a European manufacturere the problems the have with diesels and turbos would put you off buying one.

It’s not just about the look of the car but between the two my vote goes to Honda Civic. I like refreshing looks of Honda inside, the comfortableness, space, features it offers and the speed is just fine to me. It was my point of view regarding Honda I don’t know about others opinion.

I have 2004 Honda hybrid at present. The average fuel consumption is 6.8 liter per 100 kilometer. Honda New Zealand Tells me the milage depends how you drive. When I challenged the manager in charge Mr Henderson to drive and show me, and achieve the mileage he is claiming, he simply refused.

Today my honda hybrid is 5 and half years old and driven just 77,000 kilometer. The CVT tramission gave up.Can any one tell me Should Honda New Zealand fix this transmission problem at their cost or I have to pay for this.

I have driven Prius year 2000 model in year 2006 for 4 months. I have almost achieved the milage as claimed by the Toyota.

Honda New Zealand knows The Honda Transmission has the problem. They should let the Honda cars owners know.

Although both vehicles have had changes in recent years, this review still makes good relevant reading. I’m really looking forward to full electric cars from both these companies hitting the market in the future.

Amazing review my friend! The biggest and with the most information a have seen out there!

By the way, can anyone tell me, what is the S and the L option in the transmission?
They gave me one from work, and it did not come with a manual…

Thanks a lot…!
