2007 Honda Accord Hybrid


















Hello Everybody, once again I'm back from a hiatus. Today I'm gonna blog about a loner car since my car is in the shop for the weekend. I took it in a little too late & they wouldn't have had time to fix it that day. So they loaned me Honda Accord Hybrid. I figured, "Well, okay." So I have been driving it some. It's a much more different creature, a lot more conservative. It's very comfortable compared to my Fit. It does have the IMA found in other Honda hybrids. (Even though Citroen has started the start stop system, Honda follows through.) I thought it would've been nicer if it was a 4 cylinder, but it has a V6 so it's more thirstier. Well as for the V6 you do get more power though. On the inside, it has leather interior, even though I prefer cloth. It has HD radio, which is pretty good since like 90% + of the Atlanta radio stations suck. I never thought in my life that Motorhead would be played on radio.

Driving however is actually nice. It's much quieter, since I got used to my DC Sports exhaust on my car. It includes the electric gauge on how you can drive more conservatively. it goes blue when you use the battery & green when you charge it. (Blue when you're accelerating & green when you decelerate and/or brake. Yet, to be honest, it's kinda pointless on a V6. I can drive as hard as I want on Fit & still get 30+. 40 If I kept the cruise control at 55. ( Since I have some more mods, I think I got better, I will do research on that soon.)

So the question is, would I trade my Fit for it?

Well if I started a family & needed a bigger car, maybe. But not for a V6. It's not really bad at all. Still I would look at other options. Yet a hybrid on a V6 daily driven car, it's jsut counteractive in my opinion.
