Used 2019 Honda Accord Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Great car, but poor actual mileage
First, this is an excellent car. However (like others), I would not have bought this hybrid if I was only going to get between 34-37 MPG instead of the advertised 48/48 (which sold me on this specific vehicle).

Great mileage, awesome features, perfect value
Still getting used to the car, my first Accord, but it is a huge step up in terms of driving comfort, gas mileage, and features. Was previously driving a Sonata, and almost went with a new Hybrid Sonata but wasn’t impressed with the car’s features. The EX had everything I wanted and still had a great price. Will really enjoy this car on my commutes.

very good-be aware of windshield cost for ex-l
I am very pleased with this car. the interior quality is very good and the car interior is very quiet, except when the engine fires up(this can be loud). the seats are firm, but that is my preference. the sound system on the ex-l is okay, not anything special, though. It has 2 usb inputs and of course bluetooth. the bluetooth combined with my recent LG V60 phone is nice, fast ,and stable. one gripe-no aux cable port like my old Accord. the android auto is very good, too, esp the map screen. one thing-the quality of the usb-c cable is crucial. I tried several cables to get it to work...it needs to be a brand-name cable. Mine is from Belkin and works great. another note of caution-the windshield replacement for this car is over $1000 and if you commute in an areal with lots of rocks/debris/trucks in the road and get lots windshield damage, this should be factored in. Only difference I can tell is there is basically a clear area up top for the camera to see through. It is a racket for sure. Also, some states put punitive car tag taxes on hybrids. Mine is 75$. Since the gas tax is only 18 cents a gallon here, I will never pay that much gas tax in a year. But it is very nice to not have to go to the gas station but once every 10-14 days instead of every 4-5. the car can be hypermiled or when needed, will provide pretty decent acceleration if called upon. No, it will not beat my 2010 v6, but seems fairly powerful. I am driving using eco mode and using the paddles to slow down the car when needed, and typically getting in the low 40s (42-45) on most commutes. If the day is really hot and the car has been in the sun all day, I notice that it is less, especially in very short trips. It seems that if the interior is hot for a long time, must heat up the battery and make it less efficient. the acc, lane assist are great and the acc is the best way to maximize mileage. it will keep you from tailgating if you set the distance right. parking and driving feel almost identical to my old 2010 Accord v6...it is hard to tell where the front of the car is and constantly worried about touching posts in the front, and it is very easy to scrape curbs if you are not careful. cross traffic and blind spot sensors are very good and worthwhile. was lucky, got a deal on the ex-l for about 28.5K. the car is still good at 21k miles. the oil did not need changing as per maintenance minder but once so far. one annoyance, the brake hold feature will disengage when you undo the seat belt-often needed for atms that are now designed for suvs. the voice is annoying-it will tell me to press the brake pedal and disengage the parking brake even after I have already started doing it and also no way around the legal nag screen in the beginning, but other brands are doing this too. most of them have black carpet, which shows every speck of dust. combined mileage total about 42mpg. a few crashes of the screen console, while driving, alarmed at first but doesn't affect anything, evidently.

Best Honda I have ever owned
I’ve had several Honda’s over the years. Most recently a 2013 Civic EX-L. I did a lot of research on this car before buying. Very nice car with all the options. Very comfortable drive, seem to be getting 40-42 mpg two months in. Very happy with this purchase

No 48/48 mpg. 35.4 over 5K miles
I feel duped. We bought this car in Dec 2018 in Missouri. We test drove it. Nice ride! Comfortable, different than our Toyotas, more cost effective than a Toyota Camry Hybrid. We watched the MPG go from 42 to 29 during the winter. We are being told it's winter gas problem and 48/48 is optimal driving. If I would have known that we would only get 35.4 (over 5k miles) in the cold for 5 months out of the year, I would have never bought it. I contacted Honda and they have referred me back to the dealership for testing again. We were told to bring it back when we have 5K on it and it's warmer. If not resolved, I fear we will have to sue Honda.
