I purchased when Accord Hybrids were new in fall of 2014, in Wisconsin. Sticker price 36k with navigation. Purchased for about 33k. Not a great discount but nobody had them in stock. That's OK. First wave buyers accept that. Mileage is about 43-44 in nice-moderate weather. Drops to 38 in winter cold. Now that the car is over a year old, I thought I'd share my impressions. I'm glad I bought it! It drives better than I expected. It has excellent pick up, handling AND BRAKING! The trunk is medium sized due to hybrid- no problem, I could see that before I bought. It's fun to drive which is nice. The car is plenty big for four adults- which is why I wanted Accord vs Prius or Civic. It's a pleasure to go to the gas station half as much as I used to. I realize with the purchase price of the car vs gas price, you don't win financially necessarily. But you don't have to refill as often. I've had absolutely no problems with it- just 2 oil changes. With elderly parents 100 miles away, on a moment's notice we can get the 911 call. It's nice not to have to take the time and anguish to gas up when you're in a hurry to get there. We can do a round trip with 1/3 tank. Big surprise- my wife loves to drive it. She has never really "liked" a car before. Just transportation. But she enjoys driving this one. I highly recommend the Accord Hybrid.

This is the 3rd Honda Accord I have purchased. A 01 EX-L V6, 08 EX-L V6 Navi and now this EX-L Hybrid. When looking for a new vehicle I wanted something reliable and luxurious. While shopping for a new car my son told me that this new Hybrid was launching and that it got great mileage, which in my daily commute would be great. I test drove the car, and it was Quiet and Smooth. I was sold, I purchased the car right away because I knew this was a winner. I have now had the car since about November 7th and I can say that it does get 50 MPG and I don't miss the Navigation because when I bought my 08 and the end of 07, the iPhone had just come out, fast forward to 2014, the iPhone is a GPS.
A balance of Economy and Performance

I've put nearly 10,000 miles on my Accord Hybrid so far. I've averaged about 46 MPG with many of those miles coming over the recent cold winter. Using the heat can really take a hit especially on shorter trips. In the summer months I've averaged 60-65 MPG in town. On several road trips I've averaged right around 45 MPG.
42K and still a big fan

Last month I passed 40k miles with my Accord Touring Hybrid, and I remain an enthusiastic owner. Lifetime average mpg is ~50Mpg. I typically get 52-53mpg per tankful in the three warm seasons with short trips (under five miles) at about 44mpg and long trips (my commute is 25 or 53 miles, depending) coming in between 55 and 60. Winter mileage is 47-48mpg due to fuel mix and low temperatures. Warm winter days I get above 50, but on bitter cold days it can be as low as 39mpg. My driving method for this car is special, and I think it contributes to mpg success. Accelerate just quickly enough to run the motor and drive in hybrid mode. Use electric mode for flat and downhill. If there is a small hill ahead, allow the car to slow a but in EV mode as you go over the hill and ease back up to speed thereafter. On long uphill drives with speed limit at 45 or higher, try to go fast enough to drive in engine only mode. In all conditions, avoid cracked or crumbly road surfaces. Smooth road is key to mpg success (rain pulls down mpg as well). Mechanically, I have had zero issues. Oil lasts about 11k between changes, and after 42k miles, my break pads are at 70%. This is in part because I drive in "B" mode at all times when not using the adaptive cruise control. Initial breaking always is by taking my foot off of the accelerator. I almost always hit the break only after my speed declines to about 20 through regenerative breaking. The leather interior and all controls have held up like new. The ACC works great and uses regenerative breaking for most deceleration needs. I love the right blindside camera and especially like to use it while going over long narrow bridges. I have seen some say that there should be a left blindside camera, but I find the split left mirror to be fine for that purpose. There are only a couple negatives. The forward collision sensor can trigger on bends in the road if there is a tree, garbage can, or other object on the side of the road (but straight ahead before you hit the bend). The ACC only sees a car as being ahead of you once it is completely in your lane. New Jersey has aggressive drivers, and so I have to hit the breaks when being cut off, because the camera does not see a car half in my lane as an obstacle to slow down for. In my experience, the positives out weigh the negatives hands down. Compared to my 2008 Accord V6 LE, I have saved about $1700 in fuel (at about $2 per gallon). Having my breaks last about twice as long will be another financial benefit, once I pass 100k and need to change them. I would buy this car again.

It ain't perfect, but close enough.

I've had my base Hybrid for a month and put a little over 2K miles on it. It's been amazing so far. I've averaged about 48 mpg so far in mixed driving, which probably be higher if temps didn't drop below freezing which caused me to average about 36 mpg on my current tank. Handling is good for a big sedan, and it feels like it has as much power as my former '04 Accord EX-L V6 Navi. Brakes are smooth and linear, unlike the jerky brakes found on the Prius's I've rented. Seats are supportive and comfortable, and the interior fit and finish is quite good. I find the infotainment system to be decently intuitive. The base audio system is ok, though not great.
