hmayeu2,
thanks for the feedback. our 1st hybrid as for most folks...
if you do check with your dealer, post here what they say...
unfortunately, there's not a lot of user activity on this board, and it's the only one i've found so far. perhaps, as Honda sells more unit's, that will change.
i am happy with the car but it does have it's quirks. for example, depending on how you drive:
1) have you noticed the car sometimes lightly surges forward (not a high idle rpm issue), as you take your foot on or off the brake? for example, if you're the 3rd or 4th in a line of cars going thru a stop sign intersection? i nearly gently rear-ended they car in front of me.
2) in the morning, cold engine, from stop, with light throttle, the drivetrain sorta bucks, as if the electric motor's magnets' rotation is uneven(attraction / repelling), until you really get rolling to 5-10 mph.
