I owned a 2002 Accord V6 before I bought a 2005 HAH and I can tell you that there is no comparison in the power or the mpg. My HAH gets 7-14mpg better than the V6 did, and has a lot more get-up-and-go! The engine is much quieter, and the luxury is very nice. I don't find the trunk as limiting as some people do, but don't know for sure if you could fit a full-size tire in there. I have the extended warranty through Honda, and it covers road-side assistance if I need it, which would include helping me with a flat tire. Believe it or not, even in Texas we use the seat heaters and love them! Okay, it's only 2-3 days a year I need them... but no heated mirrors. Don't need 'em down here anyway. I paid full MSRP in Oct '05, so $25k is a great price if you can get it for that. I like the '05 better anyway, better mpg, which is the big draw. My Accord V6 averaged 22mpg, and my HAH gets 33. That's equal driving terrain. I plan to be driving this car to 220k+ miles!
Hope this helps!

Our local dealer had four '05 HAH's on the lot today. Had them marked down to $25,898. I made an offer for $24.5K, the best he would come down to was $25K... as I walked out the door he agreed to my $24.5K. On my drive home today (40 miles almost all highway) I averaged 36.5 MPG. So far very happy with the purchase.

Welcome to the forum and good show on holding the line on inflated car prices. Did they have any 2006 Accord Hybrids? I would have thought all the 2005 MY would be sold by now. Did you get the NAV model?

What dealer did you go to? I'm in the detroit area, and a local dealer of ours also has 4 remaining Hybrids available from 2005.

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll continue to be happy with your choice. It's a really fun car to drive! And the price you got is fantastic! I paid full sticker in October '05 because I didn't think dealing was an option. Instead I dealt with the price of my trade-in and got a very good deal on it. Ended up financing $16k and LOVE driving my little HAH.

They had one '06... seems most of the dealerships in the area have one or two of the '06 model. They didn't have any with NAV.
