I have an Accord hybrid as a rental this week and thought of this thread. I previously had a rental ICE Civic and came away very unimpressed with the drivetrain, I felt like power was adequate at best and the CVT was very prone to droning and lag. The hybrid powertrain is way better and I’m not typically a hybrid fan. The EV power fills in the ICE gaps nicely and it’s very smooth and seamless. If I needed a good MPG commuter (I don’t) it would be a contender. I’m definitely more impressed than expected.
