**Home of the "Honda Civic Hybrid"**
For the record if you are out to buy one, try to get the 2003-2005 model WITH the 5-speed manual transmission OR just get the new and improved 2012 model. The 2003-2005 models equipped with the cvt have premature wearing flywheels. The 2006-2011 models were known for failing I.M.A.batteries.... in fact honda got sued because of this in early 2012. These are not bad cars, they are some of the most reliable on the road today, they just have a few kinks.
