2006 Honda Civic Hybrid

The good ol' scratch magnet is at the dealers again to get its boot lid aligned properly. Meanwhile the dealer was kind enough to lend me a Hybrid Civic instead of the usual Jazz that I've had several times already.

First impressions - it's basically pretty similar. It is a 4-door so it not nearly as cool to look at, but the steering wheel and some other visible bits are exactly the same. This car is an automatic it's the first automatic I've ever driven for longer distances.

It's a 1.4 litre petrol engine coupled with an electric one. They seem to work well and even the acceleration isn't bad and I've already gotten used to my 1.8. The engine turns itself off when stationary which is pretty odd at first, but its so smooth it's easy to forget.

Well, anyway, pictures coming tomorrow, and maybe even a few more observations.
