    For whatever its worth, my wife and I just went to the KC auto show to shop for her a new car. We narrowed it down to Mazda6 Grand touring, Honda Accord Hybrid Touring, Lexus ES300h and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. The Lexus and Lincoln were about 10K more than the other 2. Went to dealers and drove all 4. Narrowed down to Honda and Lincoln. She liked the Honda I liked the Lincoln. I really pushed going with the American car to support our economy. She did her researched and showed me the Honda is made with Union employees in USA - Ohio and the Lincoln is made with non-union employees in Mexico. Were going with the Honda

Which is a good thing, if its a Minor and well repaired vehicle..

    It is not necessary to touch the button on the door handle to unlock. Just touch the driver or passenger handle and it will unlock! The button is pressed to lock the car upon exiting.

  • @gunm808
    @gunm808 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Good review. Melissa is getting better, and I think it's better to have her in those shorter, more scripted segments. Also, as mentioned by a couple others, the Smart Key entry only requires you to move your fingers into the space between the door handle and the door panel to unlock. Pressing the small button on the handle locks it. The LEDs you highlighted are the daytime running lights which are on all the time. I'm a big fan of Hondas and the Accord is a very competitive mid/full sized sedan.

    @justinleveille8200 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Ah Dave, you don't need to press the button on the door handle to unlock, just grab the door handle and voila. The button is to lock the doors when you have the fob in your pocket. Hilarious clips, explains why you had a hard time!

    • @everymandriver

      Justin Leveille gotcha... I addressed many of the comments here on this week's podcast :-)

  • @jimbradshaw3496

    BTW, you don't have to press the button to unlock the door with the key fob. All you have to do is touch the handle for a second and it unlocks.

    Too much $$ brand new. I have a 07 Toyota Camry Hybrid that I bought for $13k with 60k miles on it. It gets 41 mpg with mixed driving. Wait to buy this car until 2018 or 2019.

    Smart key : You don't have to push button to open the car. All you have to do is wrap your hand around the handle. You can lock the car with that button.

      +Hybrids Hang HONDA is gradually phasing-out the Old IMA to the new hybrid design. Accord was the first to switch from IMA to the new two-motor setup. Next will be the Civic hybrid, then the European Fit, and finally the CRZ

  • @stevenkieley2503
    @stevenkieley2503 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A lot of talk of comparison between the Accord hybrid and the Camry Hybrid. I drove both and bought the Accord. Yeah, in similar trim, the Accord is about 3000 dollars more. But here's what I found. The Accord just felt more substantial and less tinny. The Accord felt more like an entry level Acura...The Camry did not feel like an entry level Lexus. I liked the driving position and controls better on the Accord. I wanted the Touring trim and these were really hard to get. I found a local dealer selling a 2014 with 5500 miles on it for 7000 off sticker. I jumped on it. Basically new, and I let someone else pay the depreciation. One gripe, even though this was used and I had no choice in the matter....When I was looking at both the Camry Hybrid and Accord....what is it with the colors? WHY all the light colored interiors...AND no choice? If you want a white Accord, you get an ivory interior...same with the basque red. And further, The colors for the Hondas....on the lots you could find: white, gray, black and an occasional silver... The other available colors: red, blue and that deep metalic green are really hard to find...So basically, your choices are white black, gray or silver. Same with the Camry. Now, I'm not asking for an array of Dodge Challenger colors here, but c'mon, these colors are dime a dozen AND boring.

    Would this car be reliable enough to go on a 200 mile trip every 2 weeks or so?
    Also, in terms of durability and longevity, is this car better than the Toyota corolla?

    Kudos on the combo review.
    Nobody is getting the advertised MPG numbers. I was surprised by the room in the trunk when I looked at this. I agree this is overpriced; especially compared to the Camry Hybrid. The 2014 interior WAS only available in Beige. The center stack is a typical Honda Cluster.

  • @pauljosse
    @pauljosse 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    stay away from honda hybrids, i have a civic hybrid, had 3 battery packs replaced in it so far, they only last a few ks and they are stuffed, toyotas do around 300 000km before they pack up, which is great so long as you get it, but 30 - 40 000km is to few, i have put something called "the battery jockey" in it, seems to have helped as havent a problem since, yet, time will tell, just get a diesel.

    • @danielson8107
      @danielson8107 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed. I have owned a HCH and it has been nothing but trouble.

    • @electrictroy2010
      @electrictroy2010 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +pauljosse OR instead of turbodiesel, try a Ford turbogasoline that gets 44mpg without battery. Honda changed its battery from NiMH to Lithium which ages slower. As for Toyota they eventually fail too (from age or heat-induced leakage). I've seen several die before they reached 100,000 miles. Prius owners are also using "battery jockey" and other grid chargers to stretch battery life
      .

    • @pauljosse
      @pauljosse 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +electrictroy2010 since in installed the battery jockey the battery was replaced at 130 000km and as of today i have done 180 000km without a problem, so will be interesting to see how long it lasts with the modification, basically, they put a high capicity but slow charging deep cycle battery in the boot, its hooked up to an invertor and so when the electric motor uses battery it takes some battery from the deep cycle and some from the ima battery as its all linked up, the motor does not no what it is taking power from, and i guess this also takes stress off the ima battery, if this battery is still going at 200 000km then its the longest lasting battery so far.
