Scotty I bought a 2022 Honda Accord touring hybrid edition. I committ about 50 miles a day to and from work. Did I make the right decision in purchasing the hybrid version over the 2.0 T. I really would like to know your opinion on the Honda hybrid system and if it will have longevity and last. Thank you for your time Matt in Venice Florida
How much MPG does it do?
You're going to be shocked when the batteries need replacing.
how much are they?
$14,500
Yikes. The Toyota ones cost 1/3 of that.
Shocking eh?
Why does it cost so much? Boy, I picked the wrong line of work to be in.
@doc very!
Great stuff @itwt
If you did your homework and figured out buying hybrid is worth it based on your driving and use, then I would say for hybrid first Toyota then Honda. So yeah if hybrid was the right choice for your needs a hybrid Accord is a good choice.
It depends what kind of driving you do.
City - maybe
Highway - No
In the long run, if you plan to keep the vehicle well past 200,000 miles it may not have been a good move, given the cost to replace batteries and other aspects of the hybrid system. Plus, if anything goes wrong on the hybrid system hardly anyone knows how to work on them, unlike with a pure gasoline vehicle (and even then you have a lot of stinker mechanics and dealerships).
Excellent choice.
My preference is either:
Hybrid (NA) > NA > Turbo/Super
Or:
NA > Hybrid (NA) > Turbo/Super
Depending on your driving requirements.
