| This vehicle is not safe for highway or city driving. it decelerates when you need power, making it very dangerous to merge in high speed or heavy traffic conditions. in the summer when the a/c is running, acceleration is extremely unreliable. the driver's side has severe blind spots. i have also experienced long delays in the engine restarting after pulling out into traffic from a dead stop at lights or stop signs. i have nearly been hit by oncoming traffic -- planning for adequate gaps in traffic is a challenge and very different from the other vehicles i drive. i am an experienced driver with over 37 years behind the wheel and an excellent driving record. i have owned 4 hondas and this so-called hybrid has been an engineering disaster. | |||

| My 2006 civic hybrid sedan has had 4 sets of sun visors put in it while under warranty. the sun visors break internally and will not go all the way up or down. when this happens the visors hang down about three inches from the front roof line right in the drivers field of view. when trying to place the visor all the way forward it does the same thing and hangs about three inches down in the drivers field of view. my sun visor failures all happened during the summer and the manufacturer has not offered a fix for this part. *tr | |||
