Updated Review: I've only been getting around 37MPG after owning the car for about 8 months. I'm not happy with that since I was supposed to get closer to the 47MPG sticker. I know people with a Prius that report getting more MPG than the sticker says. I was accepting of the 42mpg I originally got but now that I've dipped into the 30's and I'm a little annoyed. The engine noise is also more prominent that it was when I first purchased it. I feel like the engine is kicking in more often and sooner than it use to. The car is wonderful and all my passengers tell me how comfortable the ride is, but don't buy this car if the main purpose is MPG. First Review: It drives great and looks great. To quote my friend about the interior, “why would someone spend 2x as much on a Mercedes when you can now get a car that looks like this”. Drive quality is excellent. It drives very smooth and has good acceleration. The MPG I thought would be better but I don’t care too much. I tend to get between 42-45mpg on most drives and get the actual rated 47 on longer highway drives (traffic/no traffic). My only complaint is that I wish the backup camera was better. It might be me, but I often find it hard to judge exactly the space I have.

Poor gas mileage...Sold car

I like the car but I’m frustrated by the bad gas mileage. The car averages 33-35 mpg but has declined to 30 mpg with the colder weather. I took the car to the dealer, they test drove it and did get somewhat better mileage but nowhere close to the 47 mpg advertised. At that point they said they could not help and said I could contact Honda USA, which I did. I was told by Honda USA that they could not help but I was free to write a letter. Overall, this is upsetting! I traded in a 2012 Toyota Camry hybrid that routinely achieved 40 mpg. I wish I had purchased another Toyota! 1/29/20 update...mileage has decreased significantly (30mpg on 500 mile trip) now that’s its cold. Don’t buy for hybrid!

I WANT MY MPG

So I've owned my 2018 Accord Hybrid a little over 2 months now and have driven 3750 miles. The day I left the dealership with my complimentary full tank, I got an average of 48 MPG. That was the last time I received such MPG. the next 5 or so fillups averaged 37 MPG until today. Well, turns out Honda does not work well with AR#O. Approximately 10MPG difference. As far as the rest of the car is concerned, better than expected comfort, trunk is much larger than 2017 model. Technology is better than expected. I took Edmunds recommendation and got the EX. MSRP $29980. That comes with drivers side power and heated seat, sunroof, great intertainment screen, Gracious sitting room for driver and plenty of leg room in the back. Still getting use to the CVT transmission. Not to say it's bad, just different. Way to go Honda.

Almost the Perfect Car

I've owned a 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring sedan for the last two months. Mileage is currently at 2500 miles. Fuel efficiency is running consistently between 42 and 44 mpg. In all meaningful ways, the Accord is a top performer. Handling, acceleration and braking are first-rate, delivered with minimal NVH. Build quality is exceptional - no uneven gaps or persistent squeaks and rattles are to be found here. The car is basically silent, thanks in part to noise reduction technology. However, the suspension is a little too firm from my point of view. Automatic climate controls also seem a little flaky - nearly always defaulting to recirculate regardless of outside air temperature. Honda's vehicle safety systems for lane keeping, collision avoidance and blindspot monitoring improve safety without being too intrusive. The vehicle backup cam works well, although the picture resolution leaves a bit to be desired. Available Active Cruise Control works predictably on the highway without taking a significant toll on hybrid fuel economy. The vehicle infotainment system is one of the best designed that I have seen - controls are intuitive, menus are responsive, and infotainment features are stable. Audiophiles should have few complaints with sound quality from the outstanding audio system. The cockpit is well designed for passengers, but I have found the drivers seat leaves much to be desired. The drivers seat sits very low in the vehicle, which places the knees above the hips and creates unwanted stress on the back. The extra large and mostly unnecessary side bolsters coupled with inadequate seat padding make the driver seat an inhospitable place to be on long drives. Adjusting the seat angle and raising the seat height has mostly solved my back pain issue, but at the cost of reducing leg room. Overall this is a great vehicle that I would strongly recommend to prospective sedan buyers. However, would be buyers should take a very thorough test drive to understand if the front driver seat position works for daily driving.

MPG????

Bought this car and absolutely loved it. I have a 120 mile round trip commute in Chicago traffic. Much like a review that I read here, I was getting about 49mpg for the first couple of months. For the last 3 months I’m averaging right around 36mpg. Driving the same roads at the same speeds. ~13mpg makes a huge difference when you drive 600 miles per week. That’s less miles per gallon than the non-hybrid Accord. The worst thing is that I love the car. Comfortable, great ride, for a hybrid acceleration is outstanding, but you can get all of that with a regular Accord. Went to the dealer, they said everything looks fine. No issues. I emailed Honda and have not heard back... so unbelievably disappointing..
