Acceleration is normally quite good, except when going uphill from a dead stop.
Advice to buyer:
If you drive moderately, get this car. If you speed excessively, you won't get great MPG.
Detailed review:
The Honda Civic Hybrid is silky smooth, quiet, with adequate and silent acceleration due to the electric assist. I really love everything about this car.
After 15,000 miles I am getting about 48 MPG from this car in mostly a short city commute of 6 miles. On the highway, driving 65 MPH I average about 52 MPG.
