Im wondering why this reviewer says the civic hybrid gives a poor ride?

What do Hybrid owners here think?

It's all relative... I test drove the Civic Hybrid today and was quite impressed for what it was. Point of reference, I've been autocrossing and tracking for about 10+ years in Preludes, RSXs, S2000s, etc.

For the driving that most people do, the Civic actually handles and feels like a much more expensive and substantial car - when driven up to about 5/10ths. When pushed to the limit, it obviously has the traits of a typical front wheel drive car with economy minded (read: low grip) tires.

Yes, this guy is probably used to driving Ferrari's.
You cant trust one persons opinion.
Most people would be happy with the way it feels.

Ok fair enough. Thanks people
I was getting a bit worried there! Honda and poor ride dont generally go together.

I do not own a hybrid, but I test drove one and I think the ride was great. I am considering buying one. It rides just as good as my regular Civic and maybe a little better.

When did you test drive? Thought you hadnt driven one yet

Did you test it well on corners?
