The biggest complaint is having to get the revs up so high to get the rated HP. Not very much torque. Your wife may be better off with a GM V6. They get decent mileage with little effort. Not sure if they are plush enough for her tastes. They are roomier than most of the Japanese competition.

There is something to be said for being first on the block to own a unique car. The HAH is truly unique. It will be several years before we know if it is a great car. That is the chance you decided to take. I hope you love it as much as the other Accords in your stable. My advice, keep the boys out of it.

Replying to: viet (Dec 31, 2004 9:56 am) And as 2004 comes to an end, let us remember to respect each other and not berate each other for the personal decisions we make concerning the cars we drive. Just because a car like the HAH is not one that everyone would choose for himself or herself, that does not give us the right to pick apart someone else's choice--especially here in this discussion that is entirely about the HAH, not about what other cars someone could buy for less money or whatever. Happy New Year! |

I congratulate you on your purchase of the AH as that is what you wanted but there were costs involved. My wife wanted an MDX back in 02/03 and that is what she received even though we test drove the Toyota Camry XLE V6, Toyota Highlander, Lexus ES, and Lexus RX300 (at the time). She didn’t want to wait for the upcoming all-new Sienna (at the time) and the Odyssey’s were so blistering hot that we walked out of more then one Honda dealership without so much as even looking at one. I wanted her in a loaded up I4 based Camry XLE myself but that is the way the ball bounces. ___There are a few items I noticed between the Accord I4 and the AH which you should find pleasing. The Accord I4’s have prop rods vs. the V6’s and Hybrid’s gas struts for the hood. The V6 including the AH have a slightly nicer interior trunk lid covering then the I4’s as well. I am sure there will be more other lux appointments included with the AH uncovered in the near future. ___Good Luck ___Wayne R. Gerdes

Replying to: xcel (Dec 31, 2004 10:33 am) I sincerely would like to apologize to you as I did not read your previous message thoroughly and made an unintentionally wrong assumption/ statement about your wife's driving habit. Also, I appreciate your feedback concerning the HAH I bought. I did perform some extensive researches on the HAH, the regular Accords and some other cars and finally decided to "play the HAH game". I do know the 2005 V6 has most amenities of the HAH. Thanks. |

We paid for a hybrid Accord (MSRP). But before we could drive it off the lot, the Check Engine light came on, and they didn't know what to do to turn it off. So we went home without the car, expecting them to figure out the problem so that we could get our new car "tomorrow." "Tomorrow" stretched into almost 2 weeks. Apparently, because the car is so new, it took a long time to find someone who knew how to fix it. Finally, they replaced a computer and now it appears to be fine. (We are waiting to talk to the service guy to get details of what caused the problem.) The dealer has told us that if we don't want this car, we can start over and wait for another hybrid. Or we can take this one now, and they will give us an extended warranty for free. Anyone heard of a Check Engine light causing trouble with a new car?
