The 4 cylinder stick shift version of the Accord makes much more sense than the V-6 automatic hybrid. Very few people are getting real world fuel economy on their hybrids which matches the EPA fuel economy ratings. When Consumer Reports tested the V-6 hybrid automatic version they got 25 mpg overall in their city/highway mix. The same test of the
4 cylinder automatic got 24 mpg. The didn't test a 4 cylinder stick, but typically stick shifts do a little better than automatics.
If you want an Accord, save yourself a pile of money by buying a well equipped 4 cylinder stick shift version. Yes it will not be able to run the drag strip as fast as the V-6 hybrid version, but it will have plenty of power for any normal North American usage. You will also be getting a car built with well proven technology and not with battery packs which are going to eventually wear down and cost big $$$$ to replace.
