Credit: $2,100
Status:Not at the limit, but you’d be wise to treat the Civic as though it is thanks to the popularity of the new model. Consider too that this will likely be the preferred solution when the Prius credit is slashed.
Pros: Virtually seamless hybrid powertrain operation; excellent fuel economy of a combined 50 miles per gallon, new Civic styling and interior execution is brilliant. Lots to love about this vehicle.
Cons: Weak power after initial acceleration that will hurt fuel economy, thrashy engine when under load.
