Honda Civic IMA Saloon (03-05) - Review

Review by Parkers on
This is the future for petrol cars (or not): a conventional petrol engine linked to an electric motor. The battery is charged when you're coasting or braking and fed back to the engine under acceleration; it's essentially free power. It may have a conservative look, but there are many innovations (as well as the engine), such as a natural driving position, roomy interior and clear dash.

Buying used

A rare sight on the open market. Head down to your local Honda dealer if you're interested in one, because that's the only place you're likely to find a Civic IMA. As most are in the Honda dealer network, prices may be high.

Selling

Demand is hardly ferocious for IMA, but there should be at least a few interested buyers. Selling in London (where IMA avoids the congestion charge) will bring the highest prices.
