Mr. Scotty....You are also my CAR HERO!!!!!
I'm ready to pull the trigger on either one of these cars, but looking for your guidance, Please Sir?
2022 or 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid or Toyota Camry Hybrid, which should I buy for the longer term dependability and hedge against oil/recharging costs?
Hybrid
I usually recommend Toyota Hybrids over any other hybrid, even Honda. Toyota has 20 years of time tested hybrid technology. Prius technology has made it across their entire fleet.
However Honda has a compelling hybrid technology. It is their third attempt at creating a hybrid system, and it is significantly different than their Honda predecessors, and even Toyota. Honda predecessors weren’t necessarily bad in terms of quality. They just weren’t as popular as Toyota’s technology.
Current generation Honda Hybrids are basically an EV, but get its electricity from gasoline from 0-45mph. Above 45mph, the ICE takes over. Very fascinating.
If it is was any other company I probably wouldn’t give it a second look, but it is Honda, a company known for quality and longevity.
Toyota Hybrids usually split the duty of propelling the vehicle between the ICE and the electric motor across all speed ranges.
If you want tried and true, go with a Toyota Hybrid. They have nearly 25 years of time tested hybrid technology.
If you are willing to take a chance, go with the Honda Hybrid.
Heck, drive them both and see what you like better.
I would personally stick with Toyota hybrids, period. They have been doing this the longest with the most proven platform.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
Absolutely love your videos and approach to the car business.
2004 Prius still running with the original unmodified hybrid battery, body and interior still look great. Apparently Toyota is doing something right when it comes to hybrid technology
