I tried to look for “American Hybrid cars” because I have been getting some interest from visitors about that but I really don’t know what that means because with all the outsourcing and all that, what your left with is a bunch of companies originating in one place, manufacturing in another, creating headquarters in another and selling the product everywhere. So, after I figured that out, I decided that I am going to just talk about different hybrid vehicles. They will not be in any order in terms of companies because that’s just an endless circle.

The 2007 Honda civic Hybrid will run you approximately $22,000 without any of the special add-on features. If you’re going to buy a hybrid with features such as the Satellite-Linked Navigation Systemâ„¢ and fog lights and all of that, you’re looking at a $30,000 vehicle. All prices aside, I will take you into this vehicle and show you what it’s all about.

Honda Civic Hybrid Standard Features

The first standard feature on the list is Multipoint fuel injection. Multipoint fuel injection is a system that injects the fuel into each cylinder as opposed to a carburetor or throttle body injections that injects fuel at one point in the intake system.

Next we have the, Drive-by-Wire Throttle System which improves engine efficiency while reducing vehicle emissions. The way this is done is it replaces the old throttle control system with an electronic system that is more accurate, requires no oil or service, and does not get affected by outside forces such as hot or cold weather.

Following that we have front-wheel drive. This feature obviously means the front, rather than that rear wheels move the car. There are many reasons for this that has to do with control and handling.

Direct Ignition System with Immobilizer is the next feature. Theoretically, the advantage of this system rather than traditional ignition systems is that it doesn’t have parts that can wear out and cause you problems in the future when you try to start your car.

Next on the list we have unit-body construction. This is a system that just tries to lower the weight of the car so it’s fuel efficient.

This vehicle also comes with, MacPherson strut front suspension which is not better than double wishbone suspension but it’s still better than most. Only problem with this is that the wheel actually will bend in which effects the sharpness of the turn. Well, at least you get to save a few bucks here because of this feature.

Lastly, this vehicle comes with a spare tire like many other cars do just to add that extra feature on the list.
