I can appreciate the hybrid-ness of our long-term Accord (yay), but in all honesty it really sucks to drive it. I basically have the same complaints Chris did in the previous post . The brakes seem too touchy, the car is slow to accelerate and the steering wheel feels too loose. I probably look like I'm drunk driving when I'm piloting it around town because every movement I make is exaggerated...
Even with the simple act of turning a corner, I feel like I have to slow down as much as I would for, say, the Land Rover LR3 since the steering isn't all that tight.
I just don't experience the same oneness with machine as I do in all the other cars I've driven. I can usually adapt to whatever car I have to hop in to for the night, which is great since we cycle through so many cars. But with the Honda Accord Hybrid? I can't shake off that detached feeling.

How does the H.Accord Hybrid compare to other Hybrids? Especially with the similar inline motor drive setup Civic Hybrid?

Slow to accelerate?????
In what world is a car that does zero - 60 in under 7 seconds "slow to accelerate."
