I own 2019 Accord Hybrid, and overall, car is great, but I had some bad carma I described here: [2019 Honda Accord Hybrid: intermittent "brake system" warning light and on-dash warnings](https://community.cartalk.com/t/2019-honda-accord-hybrid-intermittent-brake-system-warning-light-and-on-dash-warnings/150465)

Some people complaint it has “poor MPG”, which is often indicative to either short rides they take or lead foot.  
This vehicle gets to the “proper” MPG only after 3-4 miles of driving, so if your commute is under 10 miles, you will never get to the EPA’s 47 MPG rating.  
I get around 44-46 MPG on 12-miles commute and up to 50 on long (30+) runs.  
Overall: nice, comfortable, a little bit too soft on steering.  
Car is peppier than non-hybrid base Accord with 1.5 turbo, but gets behind 2.0 “sport” turbo.
