Used 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Love Driving This Car!
I purchased a used car that had previously been on a three-year lease. The car looked brand new inside and out (person had taken very good car of the car). I was initially concerned the car would not have good pick-up, but a test drive at the dealership dispelled that fear. I have had five Accords, and the body style on this one is really, really sharp. No one would know this car is used unless I pointed out the minor imperfections or they followed body style updates closely. I had been driving a 2007 V-6 Accord, so this is a big step-up in technology and features for me. A word about fuel economy: while I'm not getting the advertised 47-50 mpg, I am also not burning pure gasoline, which is what the EPA uses to determine fuel-economy estimates. At my next fill-up I plan to get 100% gasoline and see how that changes the fuel economy of the car. Pros: roomy interior, right turn signal camera, back up camera, body style, heated seats, auto power up on both front windows, Bluetooth, memory seats, fuel savings, smooth ride, excellent handling. Cons: smaller trunk, no spare tire, no trunk pass-through, engine noise Bottom line: the good FAR outweighs the bad on this car, and I'm very pleased with it. I love driving it and trying to get as much mileage as I can on a tank of gas. I still have my Accord V-6 if I want power; the Hybrid is my "luxury" car. Most of all, I love that it's a hybrid that doesn't look weird. Yes, the Prius has grown on me, but it still has an alien look to it. Honda has done a much better job at producing Hybrids (Accord and the updated Insight) that look good and still get good fuel economy. Honda has not disappointed me with the car, and for now I remain a loyal fan of the brand.

Some great features and some that need a little work
I have owned my 2015 Accord Hybrid Touring for about 4 months now. It is a beautiful car from the outside and I have received loads of compliments from friends and neighbors. The interior is also nice looking and several friends love riding along with me in it. Honda hasn't done much yet to provide any videos explaining the numerous advanced features of the car and I know that I would find that helpful. From reading other's reviews, I can tell that many owners don't understand how the drive train works. For example, it is an electrically powered car until about 45mph at which point, the direct lockup transmission connects the gas powered engine to drive the front wheels.

Nothing but trouble - GONE FROM BAD TO WORSE
It is for 2+ YRS own this car. recently found out that it does not have a SPARE tire and has been nothing but trouble all this time and still facing issues. 1. In the first 60 days, twice the vehicle abruptly stopped on the road with multiple error messages related to battery overheating and engine overheating. On both occasions, the dealership could not offer much resolution. In an oil change exercise, the software was patched and the issue went away. 2. The gas mileage: Occasionally my vehicle has given me 43+ mileage in the first 6 months and started dropping to 40 miles. However, since my oil change and a couple of filter change service the mileage has dropped to 35-36 miles/gallon. Have discussed with dealership with very little resolution 3. ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control) & FCW(Forward Collision Warning): On multiple occasions, in the last 12 months both these features use to malfunction based on ‘Radar obstruction’ and in the last 10 days they have stopped working including the disabling of regular cruise control operations. This has made my long drive to work a manual exhausting effort. The dealership that inspected has advised of expensive diagnostics and recalibration which I am not sure if I truly should pay for. Overall, though I love Honda and owned a Civic for 16 years that ran trouble free for ~200K miles would highly discourage anyone looking to buy a Honda Hybrid car based on above experience.

2015 Accord Hybrid own it you will not be sorry
I average 43.5 mpg on a tank full of gas , most of the time it's a 2 mile drive to work so not ideal for best mpg, Wife averaged 45.9 when she drove it to work for a few months about 15 miles each way city and highway, extreme winter cold I get 35.5 worse Ive seen 2 months in winter about 37.5 average ,depends on coldness. 6 week between fill ups is nice, on a 10 to 15 mile trip speed around 45 to 50 I see 59 to 65 mpg routinely. Long trip of 600 miles highway, I at 70-75 mph and see 43 mpg, 62 to 65 cruise control I see 45.5. Much has been made of the engine rev to speed, it is no big deal once you get use to itI love the car, wish it went at least 3 miles on a charge but it doesn't, also memory seat would have been nice and better blue tooth and a moon roof with out breaking the bank. New ones you pay for fancy driving aids I do not want so not sure what I will do when I want a new one. You can not go wrong with car, style, comfort, drive-ability, superior gas mileage is hard to beat. Wish Honda would of asked what I would change before they built the 2018. Bottom line is I love the car, there could have been improvements but I would rather this car than the newest Accord Hybrid, if you can get into a low mileage 2015 or 2017 grab it you will not be sorry. I have owned mine over 3 years and this is the straight scoop. Update 5 years of owning 2020 March still great would recommend one to anyone. Wish they made plug in hybrid PHEV that would go 40 miles or more on charge then the car would be perfect.

Best card I have ever owned/leased
I leased this Accord Hybrid with no real additional creature comforts. For the 30 months that I leased it, it got GREAT gas mileage; low maintenance costs; great power, especially off from a start or going onto a freeway. The only real issue was that the car sits low and you feel as if you fall in to the car and have to climb out of it. Other than that, I would have purchased another one if it did not have that issue.
