Used 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid Consumer Reviews
The best car that I have driven or owned!
I loved the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring but the 2018 version of the Honda Accord Hybrid Touring trim is beyond fantastic! Finally Hybrid owners can enjoy a full sized trunk with the 2018 Accord Hybrid. I love the safety features, and sensors. I miss the passenger side real time blind spot camera but the mounted sensor and flashing yellow indicator is more than ample replacement. I like the "Break Hold" which allows you to take your foot off of the break pedal when stopped. The "heads up display" which projects data like current speed limit, compass, and next turn during the navigation process onto the wind shield. I love the wireless charging PAD, Apple Car Play, and Android Auto (I have an Galaxy S9 Plus and an iPhone 8 Plus) interface. I also love the way the seat automatically moves backwards to ease getting out of the car then returns to the programmed when you get in for the next drive. I the Touring has seat coolers in addition to the seat warmers. I'm sure I am leaving features but this is by far the nicest feature-packed car that I have ever driven or owned!

Awesome Choice
I had zeroed in on the 2.0Turbo, but my kids convinced me to get the hybrid. Boy, they were right. The car is zippy, silent and luxurious in the touring trim. I have put 3000 miles in about a month and have averaged close to 47 in combined driving. On a 240 mile highway trip, driving on eco mode at 75 mpg, it was close to 43. But in short 5-10 mile within city trips I get close to 52.

Can be a GREAT CAR IF CAME W/ SPARE TIRE.
Other than getting in/out of the car becauce of its low stance which I already knew from owning other Accord, 2018 accord hybrid is great car. 1 week after I bought the car i had appointment at the dealer.only ro find put that I had non repairable flat and had to call tow truck to take car to dealer. this car DOES NOT come with spare tire so I had to pay approx $240 to buy new tire. Dealer would not and said could not help me in any way since I had flat I had no choice. After this incident I try almost everyone at the dealer to find the solutions they keep refer me to orhers. Their part dept told me it would be almost $340 for me to purchase donut spare which is ridiculous. So BE AWARE IF YOU BUY WANT TO BUY ACCORD HYBRID WHICH DOES NOT COME WITH SPARE TIRE. THANKS THIS IS AFTER 7 MONTHS OF OWNING. I have driven over 12000 miles and am happy with my car. Longest drive was 1100 mile round trip and over mostly over the freeway. I wanted to see how it would be mostly over the freeway driving. I do have a lead foot but I still average over 35mpg which is still very good. I am saving good $$ on gas. I still tried with 4 Honda dealers. But REALLY NO HELP ON SPARE TIRES. THIS IS ONLY THING MAKES ME ANGRY OVER THE CAR AND MFG. SINCE THEY RELOCATED THE BATTERY TRUNK SPACE FOT BIGGER BUT NOW I HAVE TO CARRY SPARE IN THE TRUNK WHICH IS FULL SIZE IT TAKES ALMOST 1/3OF THE SPACE.

...Don't buy it for the Sticker's MPG rating!
Great car except for the reason purchased...47 MPG Hwy/City - This car will not perform the high MPG rating unless it's by accident. Owned the car since August and put nearly a 1,000 miles per week on it (mostly highway). Who wouldn't want 47+MPG right? Reality...43 MPG if lucky! To get anything close to what was promised by Honda, one has to be soooooooo actively engaged that it is distracting and perhaps dangerous to you and other drivers. I've driven multiple autos on this route and it is the only one that doesn't meet or exceed its MPG promises. One of them, another hybrid, rated at 31 hwy...gets nearly 35 MPG in it. Honda is grossly overstating/deceptively marketing this car's capabilities in the MPG category.
