If you’ve got a commute of any sort these days, you know the impact that high gas prices have on your wallet. You might even be looking into getting a more compact car to drive for work, but you’re concerned that your can’t fit the family into a smaller car, or that a smaller car might look too boxy or plain. If this describes your situation, go to your Lehigh Valley Honda Dealer and take a look at the Honda Civic.
The Honda Civic has long been a great compromise vehicle. Honda Civic models have always been sleek and compact, and provide reasonable fuel mileage.
The 2005 Honda Civic hatchback is one of my personal favorites. This car is sleek and sporty, and gets much better gas mileage than a family-sized SUV. The seats, especially, look like sports car seats. On top of that, you can brag about the "sport-tuned suspension" in the 2005 Honda Civic hatchback. The 160 horsepower engine isn’t the fastest one on the market, but it gives the care a good bit of zip.
The first thing you’ll notice when you take a test drive of this car at your local Honda Dealer is that the ride is especially smooth, and there’s plenty of leg room. It’s perfect not only for the commute, but for longer drives, as well.
The best thing about this particular car is the hatchback itself. If you need to transport small equipment or materials as part of your job, the hatchback is ideal. You can load and unload the vehicle without having to hassle with a trunk. If you have small but heavy equipment, such as electronics, this is especially useful, and can really help prevent back and muscle strain.
