accord hybrid. power, comfort, saves gas, practical.

u apparently didnt read the article in US news and world report last week on hybrids. takes bout 7-10 yrs to pay off the extra cost of the engine by money saved on gas. SCREW THAT CRAP, hippies.

Thats with current prices, who know how high gas prices will go. Plus, you have the added convenience of not stopping for gas as often which I find pretty damn annoying at times.

Too bad it will take forever for the european 1.9L diesel powered Accord to make it to the states; it gets about 90mpg on average.

you could almost get a brand new 05 for the price a used 04 one, if you can still find one on dealer's lots; the new 06 is moving in, there are fantastic deals on remaining new 05 3 series sedans. Check it out on http://www.carsdirect.com They are below invoice in my area.

I wouldnt consider a Honda accord hybrid "fun to drive". Maybe somewhat in a straight line but these new accords stink at the corners. boring cars to drive.

Sides it starts just over 30k, and most dealers are gonna have things on it that will charge more. Dont waste your time on a accord hybrid

im really flexible on doors, 2 or 4 is fine. im more into looks and performance. like in the g35, the only way to go is the coupe b/c the 4 door doesnt look as nice. i dunno, just looking for suggestions
