Honda Civic – Honda Civic - Best Non-Hybrid for the Environment: The Honda Civic proves that you don’t have to spend 30k to care about the environment. Or even 20k. Just get yourself a Civic with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Your Greenhouse Gas Emissions Index will come in at 9 at a starting MSRP just north of $15,000. Aside from the price, there are a few other reasons to go with this ultra-efficient four-cylinder, starting with safety, reliability and ending with hybrid batteries that will one day need to be cleaned up. If you’re making a statement, go buy a bumper sticker. If you want a smart deal that’s good for the environment, try out the little Civic four-banger.
