What a marvel of automotive engineering, the 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid, a vehicle so efficient that it could power a hairdryer in a windless room. With its modest 200 horsepower, it’s the eco-friendly equivalent of a snail on a race track. The Sport Touring trim? It’s the SUV of the hybrid world – practical, but with a bloated ego. Speaking of egos, the Civic’s 6.1-second 0-60 time is a mere whisper compared to the real-world acceleration of a sloth. The fuel economy? Praise the automotive gods, it’s a paltry 48 MPG – just enough to make you feel like you’re not wasting as much oil as your neighbor’s gas-guzzler. And let’s not forget the 595-mile range – impressive, unless you’re the kind of person who can’t even go 500 miles without needing a bathroom. The Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata, with their more balanced, if less thrilling, performance, seem like the sensible choices. The Lexus LS Hybrid, with its V6 and 354 horsepower, looks like a monster truck in comparison – a hybrid with attitude that’s just waiting to break your bank and pollute the planet. At $31,950, the Honda Civic Hybrid Sport Touring is a steal, but I wouldn’t use that money to fund a research program to find a solution for the next global oil crisis.
