The trunk’s low liftover is ideal for loading groceries, and the light doors are good for business people burdened with jackets and briefcases. The hybrid powertrain precludes Honda’s usual folding rear seat, which cuts down on the utility of this model Civic. No passthrough is a glaring oversight, as a quick trip to Home Depot for curtain rods now requires a detour to a Ford dealership for a Super Duty F-450 Crew Cab with the biggest gas-sucking V8 Ford offers, thus defeating the whole reason for getting a hybrid in the first place. OK, OK, we’re kidding… you could get a Chevy instead.
