Honda Civic Hybrid
Owners filed 397 complaints across 14 model years of the Honda Civic Hybrid. The 2008 drew the most (64).
Which Honda Civic Hybrid years should you avoid?
No Honda Civic Hybrid year stands out. Across the 7 model years old enough to judge, none drew twice the complaints of a typical year (about 51), and none shows an unusual share of fires, crashes or deaths for its age.
Too new to judge: 2025. Complaints take a few years to arrive, so a new model year looks better than it is.
How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
