When you hear the phrase “a fuel efficient car”, the first thing that comes to most people’s mind, is an ugly car. It is true that many things including cars and trucks, designed for efficiency in one area or another are not very attractive or stylish for that matter. A Honda Civic however has broken from this trend and is now amongst the leading manufacturers of some of the most stylish and fuel efficient vehicles in the global market.

Honda has a long standing history of producing vehicles that have gained popularity around the world because of their economic consumption of fuel. The company has begun to shift more attention to the design of its models. The release of the 2006 eighth generation model was evidence that efficiency and style can mix, and mix well.

Due to the new emphasis on style, the 2006 models do not have as much rear leg room and trunk capacity as its predecessors. It is available in the coupe and sedan designs. The new features that were brought in to make the Civic appeal to the more fashionable car owners are the reduced back and front overhangs and a more laid-back windshield. Also, the wheelbase was made even shorter than its predecessor.

Those seeking more power and speed will be glad to know that the manufacturers increased the horsepower on all the models of the eighth generation. A 1.8 liter SOHC engine powers all the models. The horsepower produced by the engine is about 140 and it further produces a torque of 128 pound-feet. To many Honda Civic enthusiasts, this is a great improvement from previous models. The Civic Si hatchback for example was not very popular amongst car buyers. This was because its performance was disappointing.

The coupe version of the 2006 Honda Civic is even more enticing to anyone planning to purchase a car that is stylish, fast and economical in fuel consumption. The engine in this car is even more powerful reaching up to 197-hp. The car features sport-tuned suspension and is a six-speed manual. The Civic Hybrid Sedan is more suitable for those seeking style and economic fuel consumption alone. The system used in the sedan is like other civics i.e. The IMA (integrated motor assist) system developed by Honda. This system utilizes a 1.3 liter four cylinder engine with a single-overhead cam. Its mileage increases to about 50 mpg with a combined horsepower of up 110. The secret behind the Civics’ fuel efficiency is that the engine is built to shut down when the car decelerates or when it is cruising steadily. The motor therefore propels the car on its own. This is similar to the mechanism employed in the Toyota Prius.

You can start saving money today. Invest in a Honda Civic and start counting the pennies you save. Style and efficiency can go hand in hand. If you thought that saving on fuel would mean buying an old or ugly car, the Honda Company is out to prove you wrong. If you desire to save money, the environment and still look good, go to your nearest car dealer and ask about the 2006 Civic models.
