Used Honda Civic for Sale in Hayward, CA

The 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid was the last hybrid available with a manual transmission until the CR-Z was released. It's Honda's first step into the Hybrid vehicle market and it definitely shows signs of growing pains.

My 2006 Honda Civic has been one of the most rewarding economic decisions I have made since buying it second hand at 100,000 miles and nine years ago. The Civic has moved me and my things to five apartments, commuted with me across multiple jobs, driven with me across the US in both directions, and bared with me through multiple blizzards back east and sandstorms in the west. There are three important categories I consider the Civic to excel: utility, cost of ownership, and reliability. The Civic is most comfortable for drivers and passengers shorter than six feet with a low roof line, but rear passengers have above average leg room. The Civic LX model with its four-cylinder engine is under powered in today's standard but makes up for it with a well tuned five-speed automatic, hard to come by on newer models. The 2006 Civic's styling was polarizing when it came out with its tall bumper, long sloping windshield and tiered dash. The cockpit, in my opinion, has aged well, with clear digital display in the drivers line of sight and simple tactile climate and radio controls that require no instruction. Without being too specific, cost of ownership has been kept low thanks to lifelong 30 mpg average fuel economy and no unscheduled repairs outside of warranty and through the planned life.
