I was going to buy a hybrid Accord but there were two things I didn't like about it 1 no spare tire just a pump 2 the price is high as hell and after research I decided a on the Prius both cars have the exact MPG ratings and the Prius is cheaper I leased a 2014 three model $26,860.00 I traded in my 2012 Honda Civic EXL with navigation and sunroof
If you check Fuelly.com, the Prius hatchback is getting 5-8 MPG more than the hybrid Accord in the real world. Judging from the other Hondas we have, I suspect the Accord would have far fewer squeaks and rattles, though.
Commented from Consumer Reports video - * handling only 'ok' * steering is vague * rear visibility not so good * seat heater buttons in worst location they've ever witnessed * floating bridge is confining * nothing plush or luxurious in front cabin * although steering wheel telescopes, not very far * although not most fun to drive, it's a viable daily driver .... Doesn't sound like a top notch car to me. MPGs and versatility, yes. Toyota Prius 2010-2014 road test - Consumer Reports Video Hub
