The Civic Hybrid has above-average reliability ratings much like the non-hybrid Civic sedan and coupe. If you’re concerned about replacing an expensive hybrid battery, which is a rare occurrence, Honda backs its battery with an eight-year/80,000-mile warranty. In California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New York and Vermont, it’s a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty.
For 2009, the Civic hybrid is a Cars.com Best Bet, which takes reliability into consideration when choosing cars that earn the nod:
“The Civic Hybrid's mileage is well above that of non-hybrid compact cars, including the miserly regular Civic. With its above-average reliability, the Civic Hybrid is a Best Bet for the same reasons the regular Civic is, and then some.”
