2007 Honda Accord Hybrid User Reviews

Pros

Fuel Economy, Interior, and Overall Performance

Cons

Brakes

I just purchased my new Accord Hybrid last week. I love the car. I traveled back to my home town last weekend, which was 200 miles. I kept it on ECO for the whole trip at 72 MPH. I averaged 37.2 MPG. I could not be happier. I am now over the break-in period and truely tested the acceleration on the way to work today and was blown away. I hope my experience so far continues in the future....read morehide

Pros

looks good

Cons

hybrid range is far too low for any consideration of purchase and needs greater travel range.

I can take this same body style and convert it to extreme fuel economy and ranges far beyond this wasteful performance, at the same horsepower ratings you present for consumers to purchase. As hybrids go, it is a fuel hog mammoth. I don't even consider this a hybrid based on fuel economy and it's poor range as a hybrid....read morehide

Pros

Good fuel acconomy, Great acceleration, awesome appearence

Cons

None to really speak of

Awesome vehicle!!!!!! i have gotten has high as 42Hwy/32City. Great looking car, and the comfort is outragous. Best vehicle I ever bought hands down. Honda did it right this Hybrid, I like 100 times better than the Civic Hybrid......

Pros

fuel economy on the highway, comfort, driving pleasure

Cons

fuel economy in town less than expected

Very quiet and comfortable drive; great sense of control at the steering wheel. Regarding the somewhat disapppointing city gas mileage, one has to remember this remains a heavy vehicle with a powerful engine, making it difficult to compare to smaller hybrid; the numbers have been revised for the 2006 model onward, mine being a 2005 -then announced 29 city 37 hwy-. I actually do pretty well 26 city, 40 hwy with an overall average of 31 right now. It is awesome for long trips....read morehide

Pros

realibility

Cons

Way to over priced

I bought this car 6 months ago and really got sick of it. I am geting 30 city/hwy together. I paid 35 granz. Definately over priced. Performance is alight. I got misleaded by the guy we bought the car of.

Pros

Great Pick up with Excellent Gas Mileage. Handles Well, Very Comfortable. Nav System works great,

Cons

Small Trunk, Slight clunk when you lift your foot off the brake at full stop.

A hybrid with power, the car teaches you how to drive responsibly. To get the best mileage you need to stay within the ECO zone on the speedometer. A hybrid is a partnership, you can't do jack rabbit starts and drive 90 MPH and expect high mileage. My first long highway trip I put the cruise on at 72 MPH and watched the mileage increase to 37 MPG (there is an MPG indicator on thr speedometer). My wife and I are very happy with this car!...read morehide

Pros

Tight ride, good steering, comfortable seats

Cons

Gas Accord gets better mileage-Why buy a Hybrid?

I'll never buy a Honda again. I actually liked the car-thought it drove well and was impressed by the quality of the vehicle. I paid $3,000 more for the Hybrid version and when I tried to sell it a year later it sold for LESS that the gas Accord. I have always heard that Hondas retained their value-with Hybrids DON'T Believe it! I took a bath on this car. No one wants them. Maybe if gas goes above $4 they will be popular again. It's too bad because it's better for the environment, just not my wallet. BUMMER. Honda Hybrid-bad investment....read morehide

Pros

It is getting the fuel economy I expected and has excellent power. It is a very nicely equipped car

Cons

Way too many warranty issues and service at local dealer is deplorable.

While I am glad I bought the Hybrid, Honda has a lot of work to do on getting this vehicle to the public without all of the warranty issues. I have had mine in three times and still have one outstanding issue to be resolved. The notorious clunk in the drive train is accurate and my local dealer has no idea what it is or how to fix it. The service department at Honda is no where near the professional environment they have at the sister company, Acura. I've had three Acura's before the Hybrid and they were almost problem free and when you did visit a dealer, you were taken care of. Honda does not even come close to this type of performance....read morehide

Pros

Nice Ride, enough power and comfortable for 4 people. Gas Milage is better then me Acura TLS

Cons

Small trunk -

I thought the gas mileage would be better then it is but I drive from NH to PA to visit my kids and I used to have to get gas on the way, now I have 1/3 tank when I get there. That's good! I like the idea of driving a Hybrid and if people keep buying them they will get better and better.

I leased mine so in 36 months I can decide to return it or buy it depending on its value at that time. Also that way if I don't want to I never have to drive it out of warranty or worry about the batteries...read morehide

Pros

Looks, ride, power seat comfort, leg room, radio

Cons

Noise from sunroof, trunk size compared to non-hybrids

Bought my 2006 hybrid in September of 2006. It has everything but the navigation system. I do as much highway driving as local. My average is 28 mpg. Perhaps warmer weather will bring higher mpg. Had good luck with another Accord before this and only bought a hybrid because I thought it was helping the environment. My prior car, Acura, used high test gas and I was sick of paying the gas price. I'm short and the car is very comfortable for me....read morehide
