Beautiful and deceitful

I’ve been a Honda loyalist since 1982. I was waiting for my Accord Hybrid since reading the first reviews of it in 2017. Finally got the 2018 in model and color I wanted in November 2018. Splurged for the touring model since I expect this to be my “retirement car.” Beautiful car! And I was thrilled to be driving a larger sedan that would get mid 40’s in mpg! Until I wasn’t! Over 3000 miles in I get a consistent 37, driving only in Econ mode. I work hard at milking most mileage out of it and get 38. Very disappointed in Honda for being so deceptive! Mileage was one of the main reasons I was eager to get this car. I’ve taken to dealer 3 times for them to check it over. No difference. Not 47... 37!!! And the car will not run for more than a mile in EV mode so can’t boost it that way! If I could swap this car out tomorrow I would! And remember, I’ve been with Honda for 36 years. If you honestly don’t care about mileage you can buy this car. But if that’s true, skip hybrid and get the regular Accord and save the money. Or maybe get a Camry... Update 2/20/20... By accelerating very slowly (have to get used to driving like an old person) I've been able to get mpg 40ish over course of a tankful. One other note - there was no disclosure that this car DOES NOT HAVE A SPARE TIRE and there is no way to add one without giving up the trunk! Better have a good towing service like AAA.

I’ve read a few reviews about the mpg not matching what the EPA sticker says. My dealer told me I’ll start to get that mileage after the first 100-200 miles when the car learns how you drive. I’m at 1k miles and have hit as high as 62mpg on a 10 miles trip and the lowest is in the upper 30’s but I’m averaging about 48 mpg thus far, so has exceeded my expectations. This car has extremely comfortable seats with a lot of support- I’m 6’5” and I have plenty of room, especially in the now extended back seat. The A/C blows cold even with the 110 degree heat we have here in Scottsdale AZ. The drive is actually quite sporty and the tires hug the road nicely. I got the EX-L and added the parking sensors. I bought using the Costco auto buying program and with the sensors, I saved over $5k out the door getting it for $28.7k. I had the 2015 accord gas model so the new safety and tech features are very welcome and provide more eyes on the road. This is a great family sedan for those who want to save money on gas. About to take it to Vegas for a “surprise” bday party and we have decided to take this car over our 2018 Volvo XC90 based on comfort and all the stuff we can bring. I do have a led foot but drive “safely” with a great radar detector and I still beat the EPA estimates. Everyone drives differently and I don’t have to drive like my Mom to get the higher mpg, just let the car work at its best with its battery. Update: after driving this car for 4 years, my mpg is typically 50/50 mpg, although I have got some city trips in the 70/80’s. The car still drives smooth, seats are just as comfortable as my wife’s volvo and the quality of materials both in/outside are holding up very well. I’m hopeful Honda will make an EV Accord-this w/b the only I would trade it in

Not close to 47mpg

live in South Florida which is very flat. I drive like an old man on I-95 setting the cruise control at 68mph. I accelerate very slow and have never gotten over 40mpg on any full tank. Sorry but the 47mpg on the sticker is a complete LIE!!!! Don’t buy the hybrid if you think you will get 47mpg!!! You won’t! Not worth the extra money for the hybrid! I have had the car now for several years. The MPG keeps going down. I’m averaging about 35 MPG now. I just put brand new tires on it about three months ago. Thinking new tires would help. They didn’t! Do not buy this car if you think you will get great gas mileage, you won’t!
