Will it be affordable?
At $27,350 before slapping on taxes and delivery charges, the 2011 Civic Hybrid wasn’t. Honda Canada hasn’t released pricing on the 2012 model yet, but I’m willing to guess it will get a slight price drop, despite the additional features. I’m expecting an MSRP of about $26,500; we’ll know in a month or so whether I’m on the money or dead wrong – but I’m confident.
So, that’s basically $2,000 more than a loaded Civic EX-L. Is it worth the extra dough? It all depends on how much mileage you’re planning to put on the car. And we’re not expecting customers to run into Honda dealers to buy the Civic over another new hybrid model, despite the fact that all-around this is their best one yet. With the new features and my admiration of Honda’s IMA hybrid system, though, it is at least a much better deal than the old Civic Hybrid.
