The HCHII will return great mpg when driven right. I would have bought one hands down if there had been a 5MT, rear disc brakes and no auto climate control.

If one had to have a automatic tranny in there Civic sedan. This one make since. The 5AT is a gas sucker. And coupled up to a R-18 is almost a waste of engineering.

If Honda ever put a 5MT in this car and built it for me. I would dump my EX in a heart beat. I would love to have the 60+ mpg this car will give up when driven right.
