Used 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Honda Accord Hybrid Poor MPG
My wife and I purchased a new 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid in late 2016. We expected to see around 40 - 48 Mpg from this car. With now over 1000 miles on this car we have managed to average 32.4 Mpg from this car. We have been driving this car as we would any other vehicle that we have owned. The car does not go into electrical mode unless you going under 20 Mph and is rarely seen at highway speeds of 65 Mph. We live in the Northern part of the United States and the Dealership is telling us that due to the cold weather and different gasoline blends used in Winter this is normal. We will be reviewing the mpg vs the pump calculation the next time that we fill up. The car looks and rides nice, but if you are looking to save money at the pump or think you are helping the environment by getting a hybrid car, stay away. My suggestion would be to buy the Accord with a 4 cylinder motor and skip the electric portion since it really serves no benefit besides taking up trunk room for the batteries that are never being used.

Excellent, roomy, responsive hybrid sedan
Easy to love this car. Wish it was available years ago when I bought an Insight which was inferior in every respect. Honda got it right on this one in all major respects. If I drove a constant 45-50mph I would be getting 50 MPG consistently but my mostly highway driving has me up in 65mph and higher most of the time. I like everything about the car other than a few minor annoyances. Easy to drive, quiet, reliable, great sound system, better styling for this model year than the 2018, which sadly looks like pieces are missing off the front of the Accord. LOL. This is my 5th hybrid--had 2 prius--too small for us tall folks, too narrow, and Toyota blamed owners for the accelerator pedal drama. No thanks. Then bought an Insight which was ok with mileage but small and cheap/tinny. Then bought a Sonata hybrid which looked nice but Hyundai lied about gas mileage and it was awful and blew up at 125K. Never again with either Toyota or Hyundai. This is my 4th Honda. Annoyances: musty smell from A/C; rear camera screen graphic takes getting used to compared to other cars; phone/stereo button is very clunky to use and switch back and forth. But those are tiny. Very happy with the car and will keep it a long time until I can afford a Tesla (if it still exists) or other all-electric that holds tall folks comfortably and has a high winter range. Until then this is fine and I got an amazing end-of-year deal/price.

OMG! I LOVE THIS CAR!
I just traded my 2014 RLX in for this super amazing Accord! Soooooooooo good on gas and really fun to drive! Really am happy about this purchase and it was 1/2 the price of my RLX. Love! It! Lynnwood Honda in WA state goes above and beyond to make the buying experience great! From the sales to the detail shop. Happy customer. Just a side note I'm 6'2 and 280lbs and fit great in the new accord.

Bad investment for an hybrid
Poor mpg average is 40 instead of 48-52. Radio/ radio Bluetooth is given problem and dealers can’t fix it. Bad customer service at Honda

Honda Hybrid-RIPOFF
I purchased a new 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L in August 2016 on a Friday. Took it right back to the dealer the following Monday. Here are the items that have been replaced on my new 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid in the last 6 months-battery module, seat warmers, speakers, Bluetooth and its been in the service dept over 10 times. Seat warmers didn't work and battery drained quickly. Dealership blamed American Honda and said the technology was to new that they didn't know how to fix the car. American Honda did not respond for five months. After five months Isabel the Regional Manager met with me and tried to excuse the lack of contact to a retirement. American Honda worth billions of dollars cannot afford to overlapping reps? We sat for 45 minutes of me telling everything that was wrong with the car and assured me they were going to take care of me. A month later it scheduled for me to drop off the car for the Engineer at American Honda to finally look at the car. No one checks on me although Isabel is there, no one know whats wrong with my car as she did not pass on my notes to the services center or the Engineer and the Engineer came after hours so I never got to meet with them. All I received was notes that he drove it on cruise control on the highway at 65 and it works correctly. When I call American Honda to speak to Supervisor I speak to David who is the Gatekeeper who will not give me any information on a Supervisor to report how badly this experience was. Honda's used to be good cars, but if you look in the service centers all you see is brand new Accords. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR DO NOT BUY A HONDA ACCORD HYBRID. HONDA DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR CARS. RIPOFF RIPOFF RIPOFF!
