Luckily, in 2010, Honda gave us a vehicle that meets all this qualifications: The 2010 Honda Civic Hybrid. Carrying on their long-standing tradition of well-made, reliable, yet fun vehicles, the Civic Hybrid not only embodies all of the previously mentioned traits, but actually exceeds them as well.

Features like a 1.3-liter 8-valve i-VTEC 4-cylinder gasoline engine matched with a lightweight yet powerful electric motor; a Honda hybrid technology Integrated Motor Assist IMA system; smooth continuously variable transmission (CVT); and an idle-stop feature that cuts off the gas engine when stopped allows the 2010 Hybrid to achieve an almost unheard-of 40 city/45 highway MPG, thus making it one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the road.
