Most reliable car I ever owned

Its a great car but the Hybrid battery has issues and replacements are expensive , Honda should offer a Battery replacement program that is reasonably priced .

Too many issues that weren’t disclosed

The trunk and windshield leak. The windshield wipers have a mind of their own. It has a radiator leak and an oil leak. The trunk mildews and stinks from the leaking.

Car was reliable at first

This car did well with fuel ecomomy at first but as time went on that declined but also small problems started to happen costing more money than iIwanted to spend. Small problems were expensive fixes

270000 miles and still going

I love my 2008 honda hybrid! I currently have a little over 270000 miles. I bought it new and have changed the electric battery once at 190000 miles. I currently get 45 mpg. I have driven this car from Delaware all the way to Idaho and it was fantastic! Although it is not great on steep hills or mountains. Overall the best car I have ever had. I hope to reach 500000!

Poor Performance

This car has poor pick up from stop to start. Also, it's bad in the rain and snow. If something is wrong with the hybrid battery, you have to take to the dealer:( I would not buy this car again.

Reliable Honda

This car is comfortable and dependable. I love the roominess of the interior, and I am particularly impressed with the design of the front dashboard. The aux input in front is a plus, and the exterior is sharp-looking for a sedan.
