Update: 4/13/21 Now that I have placed 36000 miles on my Hybrid Accord base. I am pleased to report that the car has been trouble free. The steering has loosened up in the positive way and It feels like second nature. I have taken It across the US and it has provided enough cargo for two week trip(2 Person my wife is a pat rat) to Yellowstone which it got mpg in the 60s or commuting in the winter where I get 40 mpg. I have put Husky mats in it and the floor looks like new. I upgraded to a garmin and use my Samsung 7 phone routinely through the bluetooth with no problems. The stereo sounds good to me, I use mp3 on flash drive through AUX with no problems. (1000's of tracks easily located). Good radio reception. Comfortable seats and easy access for long or short rides. Handling is superb , Ride is a little more sporty than Toyota but controlled. Lots of cubby holes and bottle holders. Back seat friends have been overall positive about room and ride. Although I am not a fashionista the styling has grown on me and I like it better now than when I bought it. Alas the world is going SUV ask Ford, while the sight lines are fine, it has become a taller vehicle world. My solace against pickup trucks and monster SUVs is better mileage from hybrid technology but even that is changing. All electric may work for some people but I point out Hybrid is recycled energy and plug in is not. Electric needs to be produced by nuclear or fossil fuel in most areas so pollution does not follow your electric car but it contributes at the generating site. Hmm Original: While I am only 6' I have had issued with entering midsize hybrids. This is by far the best to get in or out of including non hybrid accords. As far as dealers go the Honda Dealer (Bob Brady in Decatur ILL ) was very professional and gave a great deal on this homeless 2017 hybrid in Jan 18. While I am new to hybrids I test drove to many to count. Many had gear jumps or grabby breaks and the level of electronic was overkill. I feel sorry for those who dislike the the entertainment systems on the higher models or the exploding moon roofs. I don't miss the second screen or hard to use controls I guess I'll have to get by with my simple knob based system and a 7 inch dedicated navi from amazon for $68 . Leather is overrated and heated seats are miserable like cooking your body in a grill. My last car was 2000 Eldorado which had all of these. My dealer told me that winter gas and cold weather was going to cut mpg so I did not have a cow when I got 40 Mpg on my first tank . I was also willing to play the efficiency game and apply Zen driving. When ever I get tired of it I press the Sport Button and I can be as aggressive as I want. You need to be an adult to drive this car and take advantage of it. If a near fullsize car that gets 40+ mpg and drives like a non hybrid is not good enough trade it for a Mazda. I loved mine when I was a kid.

Is the third time a charm?

This is Honda's third try at an Accord Hybrid. What happened to prior model years? What happens to resale value when Honda starts production and then halts production? It tanks! Who in the dealership (s) will be able to work on the car after it goes out of production? Currently I have no faith that anybody in the dealership can resolve any major problems with the hybrid drive and the new technology like lane assist, etc. My sales person did not have answers about the dealership's ability to properly service this car. He was unable to instill any confidence about servicing a hybrid. For perspective, I have owned Hondas for a long time. But the technical excellence of their service departments has diminished over time. They no longer differentiate themselves with their service and maintenance. I still think they build great gasoline cars. But I wanted a Hybrid, so I chose a Toyota Camry Hybrid. Honda needs to demonstrate that they are serious about building Accord hybrids long term. They started up production for the second time in 2014 and 2015 after a long hiatus (2007 and 2008 I think). Then they halted production in 2016 and moved production back to Japan for model year 2017. The primary reason I was given for moving production back to Japan was quality control. QC would be better in Japan. Which takes me full circle. Who knows enough in the local dealership to solve complex technical issues that will arise?
