Tallahassee, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/04/2011 -- Panama City Honda fans who want to beat rising gas prices should take a look at the new 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid at Proctor Honda. The 2012 Honda Civic is an efficient and highly capable hybrid vehicle with a fuel economy rating of 44 mpg city and 44 mpg highway.

The Civic Hybrid is designed from the wheels up for improved mpg. The Honda Eco Assist feature gives Panama City drivers a huge advantage in this area with helpful blue and green "coaching bars" on either side of the speedometer. Stay in the green, and go farther on each tank.

To save energy more efficiently, drivers can simply push the Econ button: a large green button prominently displayed on the dashboard. In Econ Mode, all systems are automatically configured to work in the most efficient way possible. This can be switched off at any time by pressing the button again.

Panama City Customers Love The 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid

The 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid is packed with features to make driving a breeze. The Civic Hybrid uses Honda’s Intelligent Multi-Information display, or i-MID. The i-MID is the central source for information about many vehicle functions including current fuel economy and audio-system settings. Bluetooth HandsFreeLink info and turn-by-turn navigation directions are available with selected option packages. Drivers can customize their settings, colors and add their own unique wallpaper.

The i-MID also delivers with an energy-flow screen within the display, indicating the balance of power between gas and electric. The Eco Assist system helps drivers learn to drive more efficiently, rewarding them with an “Eco Score” at the end of the drive.

The Civic Hybrid’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure is a Honda-exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. The ACE design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. This enhanced frontal crash-energy management helps to reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment and can help to more evenly disperse the forces transferred to other vehicles in a crash.

Standard on all Civic models is Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), which can brake individual wheels and/or reduce engine power in the event of oversteer or understeer to help regain the driver's intended path. The system also features a traction control function to help prevent wheelspin during acceleration.
