Status: Under the limit; buy the Accord Hybrid with the revised control calibration.
Pros: Fun, fun, fun…this is a performance hybrid because it has V6-level performance and is meant for those who enjoy driving.
Cons:Fun, fun, fun…but not very frugal, and car shoppers have responded by mostly ignoring the Accord Hybrid in favor of the less expensive Accord V6. In fact, rumors swirl that the Accord Hybrid will soon get the heave-ho out the door. The EPA rates fuel mileage at 28 combined, but few will get that, as this car is fun to drive fast – but not fun enough to pay the hybrid premium.
