6. 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid
Editors' rating: 7.8
The good: The 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid delivers excellent fuel economy and emissions numbers while not compromising too much in the way of performance. Voice-controlled navigation and satellite radio are good tech options for the price.
The bad: The gas engine's automatic shut-off feature causes driveline shudders, making for a rough ride in stop-and-go driving. The gas engine can feel underpowered when working alone.
The bottom line: Honda's reputation for practical economy shows in the Civic Hybrid, which is well-built and simply designed to sip fuel. Interior tech options are usefully done, making this Honda a great commuter sedan.
