#3572 of 3591 Time to sell 2005 HAH? by nowakj66 Jun 28, 2007 (9:59 am)
If you have a 2005 HAH, is it time to sell? Logic being before the new model Accord comes out and before the diesel arrives.   What sort of resale am I looking at in 2010?   I've been offered $18k at a dealer for a car with 19000 miles. Car has been trouble free but Civic Si Sedan on low end and Acura TL-S on high end have caught my eye.
#3573 of 3591 I'm looking to Purchase a 2007 Hybrid Accord w/Nav. by tigerhonaker Aug 05, 2007 (2:33 pm)
Replying to: samiam_68 (May 15, 2007 5:43 pm) So it would seem to me the outsider here that either owners here did not do their research on the HAH or they think you can have your cake and eat it too.   The HAH is a 253/255 HP High-Performance Car. It is not going to give FE (Fuel Economy) like a 166 HP 4-Cyclinder Accord. Come on people think about it. Do you really think that you can drive the crap out of a 255 HP car and it is going to give GREATER FE than a (4-Cyclinder-166HP Car).   I wish there was on this Thread some owners that are Proud of their HAH and would share with me your LIKES of the HAH you purchased. If so I will get the Instant-E-Mail-Notice and rush right over here to read your comments.   For the owners here that just HATE the HAH because you thought you could own a HIGH-PERFORMANCE-HYBRID and drive it like a Hot-Rod, COMPLAIN about the FE,don't waste my time or yours COMPLAINING about it. You should have known better:   You Bought the Wrong Hybrid. You people should have gone for the Honda Civic Hybrid or the Toyota Prius that are Designed for Greater Fe than there Gas Counter-Parts.   Terry

Replying to: dmathews3 (Jun 06, 2007 5:22 pm) I would appreciate input of others. I have a 2005 Accord hybrid with 40K miles. It's been trouble free and a good car so far. What do others think about trading it in early in its life before it really depreciates?

#3578 of 3591 05 Hybrid - Humming/Vibration by mrno3283 Jul 22, 2008 (6:56 am)
We have an 05 Accord Hybrid. we love the car except for this humming or vibration. lately it seems to be getting not worse but more frequent. it annoys the hell out of my wife. a mechanic checked it and simply said...that's a hybrid.   still, it doesn't seem normal to me. can anyone shed some light on this subject??   appreciate it.
#3579 of 3591 Hybrid Humming by louis-martaan Jul 22, 2008 (10:34 am)
Yes, I've had that too.   I believe it's the built-in noise-cancelling system malfunctioning.   The dealer replaced a part (under warranty) and it went away completely (although, after 2 yrs it's starting to come back.) I think it's a well-known problem to the Honda people   The good news is that it's probably not the engine and is easy to fix.
#3580 of 3591 I love my HAH by mputnam Jul 29, 2008 (5:13 pm)
May 30, 2005 I called my Honda dealer and he said he'd give me a better deal than his salesmen could! on an HAH. One came in the next morning, I drove it, wrote a check for $33000, gave my Explorer to my daughter and drove the HAH off the lot. It's comfortable, drives beautifully! does 0-60 faster than I'll ever need and it's fun to watch the gas mileage go over 40+ on long road trips. I haven't checked the average mpg on the 77441 miles it has but on my routine trips from our mtn (6800 ft) home to town (2800 ft) I average 29-31 with stops and starts in town. For the gas mileages the $5000 +- I paid more for it than just a regular Accord would mean I might need to keep it for 7-10 years, however, I got a $3000 tax break that year, and I have 'bragging rights' for owning a Hybrid. My girls were somewhat shigrined that I'd trade my stylish Cinnamon colored Explorer for a small car. But who's laughing now as they think twice about driving their 7 seat Yukons that get almost 15 mpg? And service - none so far, just oil changes every 3-5K miles and snow tires changed for winter. And I love that it costs me about $12.50 to town and back (75 miles). My husband drives a Dodge Ram Pickup and calculates at least $25 for the same mileage. This grandma thinks positive! Oh, and will I be sorry that I don't run it into the Honda service department every 20,000 miles? I hope not.
#3581 of 3591 And by the way by mputnam Jul 29, 2008 (5:16 pm)
The humming noise, my husband said, was from tires and road conditions, but the girl friends straightened me out on that. So -- turn up your XM radio! or at 20, 40 or about 60 just accelerate slightly and it will go away.
