Comfort
One of the single most significant improvements to the 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid is the seating, which is comfortable front and rear.
More comfortable seating, front and rear, is one benefit of the 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid redesign. Four six-footers can fit inside the Civic Hybrid, and those in the back seat won’t lack head or legroom, though it’s not as roomy back there as the Toyota Prius. Unlike other Civic sedans, the Hybrid doesn’t get a fold-down rear center armrest. Up front, wide, firm, supportive chairs offer excellent comfort. The driver gets a manual seat height adjuster, and in combination with the standard tilt and telescopic steering column, a perfect driving position is easy to find. Honda provides plenty of storage space inside the 2006 Civic Hybrid, and road noise is commendably low.
