Have driven my 2005 Accord Hybrid for a couple of years and have been continuously impressed with the ride and comfort. Some may worry about the Hybrid batteries although not due the negative press it gets sometimes as the system works great and provides more power than the standard V6 making it a very sporty car. Even if the battery was to fail it will simply turn into a regular V6 Accord. No problems with any aspects of the car or its performance with regular routine maintenance. Only detractor was in getting use to the the subtle changes with the charging system cutting in and out as it not as smooth as a regular car. The economy and ride made up for it.
