Safety
The Civic Hybrid has front, side-impact and side curtain airbags. Its active front head restraints help protect adults against whiplash-like injuries, and the front seat belts are height-adjustable to give everyone the right fit.
For the first time, the Civic Hybrid has standard electronic stability control as well as traction control to help keep the car on the road. The antilock brakes come with brake assist, which senses panic braking and applies available brake power.
On the downside, the Latch connectors are buried in the backseat. Usually I can use one hand to expose the Latch points, but it was a two-handed job in the Civic Hybrid. It made me really glad my kids are out of child-safety seats.
FAMILY LIFESTAGE
In Diapers: It’s not easy to install child-safety seats with the buried Latch connectors.
In School: Doors and seat belts are easy to manage, which makes the Civic Hybrid great for school-age kids.
Teens: Teens will like the technology but might complain about legroom.
