    Good car. Cannot answer your question as the answers depend on
    N situations. But I do not see hybrid civic is coming these days

    1. No. Petrol engine always running. Electric motor assists from time to time to reduce load from engine.

    2. Around 10-15kmpl in city depending on nature of traffic. 17-20kmpl outstation. 22-24kmpl highway. My mixed city driving average is around 14kmpl. I never drive slow to save fuel btw.

    3. When you stop in traffic engine turns off. A/C and other components run by hybrid battery and 12v batt during this time.

    4. No.

    5. Can be. If the car stayed in a car sale without being run for more than a month battery could be failing. If the can runs a lot of miles the battery would last for 4-5 years I guess. Its a good high mile runner, not good for keeping around parked. Get battery capacity check done from Stafford before buying used.

    6. Yes. Especially when hybrid battery charge is available and when electric motor kicks in.

    7. Never done that. I usually run around 450-550km from Rs 4500-5000 worth of octane 95.

    you have said

    so you mean the engine turns off only if the car stopped? not while going slower in traffic?

    The older version of Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) does not have full EV mode where it cannot move without getting an input from the petrol engine. Also when the vehicle is stationary, AC gets cut off with the engine and only the blower will work. If you are using the climate controller, it detects the cabin temperature and engine will start to run if necessary.

    The A/C does not get cut off when the engine stops in Civic Hybrid. In this car the A/C compressor is electric and can run off the hybrid battery. The engine will only start again either when the vehicle moves, or when the Hybrid battery charge level drops below the threshold and it can no longer power the systems.

    @ishan.fdo
    The engine turns off when you become stationary in traffic if the hybrid battery has enough charge. When you lift your foot off the break the engine switches back on automatically. This is called 'Auto Stop'.
    When you are on the move, the petrol engine (which is a 1300cc 3 stage i-VTEC) always runs. When you require more power (i.e. accelerating), the electric motor spins and adds 20 horsepower to ease the engine's burden, saving fuel, and it gives you a feeling of 'boost' when driving.
    Although the engine would never turn off while the car is on the move, it has VCM (Variable Cylinder Management), which permits deactivation of all four cylinders at certain cruise speeds which increases fuel efficiency.

    The plus side of this system is that the car would never become stationary even if the hybrid battery totally goes dead . You could technically remove the H/V battery and still the car would run using the petrol engine. but with less horsepower at its disposal.

    I don't about new civic hybrids,but I am taking about the older IMA systems, for instance in Honda Insight 2009 which I own, when the ac is controlled manually it does blow hot air when stationary, but when the climate controller is active the engine kicks off to maintain the cabin temperature regardless of the state of the hybrid battery.

    This should be the case for civic hybrids as well I suspect since they share the same system with a 1.3L engine

    Go for FD1 1.8 or FD4 1.6

    Someone else also told me that Insight stops its AC compressor when idle(auto stop). But in Civic Hybrid, AC compressor works even in auto-stop mode, not just the blower.

    As far as I know 2016 civic comes with 1.5L turbocharged engine and 2.0L engine.

    It's not the same fuel consumption. FD1 would do around 6-8kmpl in city. FD4 8-10kmpl. I have driven all these.
    If someone wants to run 1000+km per month but cant afford the fuel costs, FD3 is ideal.
    If they don't run a lot or don't mind about fuel costs, then FD1 / FD4.
    FD3 has 1300cc engine, but it's also paired with an electric motor. Most people who say the engine is not enough have test driven civics with hybrid batteries that are running low on capacity. If you have a good hybrid battery that holds enough charge, FD3 has ample power and acceleration.
