Honda Civic Maintenance Required Indicator Reset

Honda Civic Maintenance Required Indicator Reset

Good performance, efficient fuel economy, and plenty of interior space make the Honda Civic a fine choice. Most versions come with a sprightly 1.7-liter four-cylinder; the uplevel EX trim makes a bit more power and returns 29 mpg overall. Hybrid versions get 36 mpg overall, but they're slower than the regular Civic and have suffered hybrid battery failures. Handling is fairly nimble, but the ride is a bit too firm and road noise is pronounced. The Civic Si hatchback doesn't add that much excitement, despite its 160-hp engine. Antilock brakes were standard on the EX, Si, and Hybrid.
