Anyone have one? Drive one? Do tell!

 

Why dont you go down to the dealer and drive one and come back and tell us about it.

 

I purchased mine in fargo, ND yesterday and drove it home (221 miles). Breakin period is said to be 600 miles. Car had 227 miles on it when I picked it up.

Just getting used to it. Last Honda's I've owned before this were 84 and 92 Accords, lately I've been a Dodge Cummins user and still am, but I wanted something to put around town economically.

Seems like an ok car. Got 27 mpg coming home averaging between 70-80 mph.

My friend that works at consumer report did the test.. he said its not as smooth as he liked.. he's pretty disappointed so far.. shifting between power & gas

 

Car and drive gave it the ten best award for pefrormance and driveablity.

 

So what is the hybrid saving you? I get about 29 mpg doin 80 mph.

2001 EX I4

 

once it breaks in it should get better mpg

 

If you read threads about motor break-in. He's well past break-in point according to some other people.

i get 25/26 on an v6 EX on the highway....I guess you need to do the stop/go traffic thing for you to realize the savings. Not worth it if you are all highway miles with no traffic.
