I actually kinda like the Accord Hybrid.

It looks ok, (if it's the same set up as the normal one) handles pretty well for a midsized sedan, and gets 50 MPG in the city!

My parents have a Fusion Energi. Solid car.

I'm not the only one, I would never own one, but I'm glad they exist

I also like the Fusion hybrid. It and the Accord are the only non-performance hybrids I would buy.

Weirdly, the wheels are almost exactly the same as in the Jetta Hybrid. Which I guess its because of less drag through the air etc. And automakers, this is how to do efficient rims. Kill the hubcap!

I hate plastic hubcaps! I will gladly give up 1 mpg to have alloy wheels!

You sir, speak the truth! And honestly, whats a goddamn 1 MPG when you are still loading up the thing with your crap, your offspring, and accelerating like a lunatic to get to work on time.

Nice car. The way I see it, the Accord Hybrid only has one problem.

Except that in real-world driving, hybrids consistently underperform relative to their stickers, with a delta much worse than conventional gasoline vehicles.

Honda claims 47mpg mixed, but most people see under 40 in real-world conditions. Some reporting puts the mixed number closer to 35.

I'm not at all saying that's bad, but it dramatically changes the calculus when economy is your primary purchasing factor.

Check out a Jetta TDi, or BMW 328d, if economy is your thing. Diesels get constantly better mileage than the stickers show.
