No thanks, all these pictures I have on this thread just don't look the same as the car looks in person. I'm not trying to scrape everywhere...delslo;287965 wrote:Moar Low in the future?
Matter of fact as soon as I pulled out of the garage I scraped going down it.

Well I'd say if anything you've definitely established you're for it's hybrid system... Let's just say we still have a deference of opinion. That happens though.GreyTeg;287238 wrote:There is a couple features of this hybrid system that aren't pointless.
1. When your coming to a stop and if you push the clutch in and shift into neutral the car actually shuts off. The car restarts as soon as you put it in gear. Thing is, the electric motor is what starts the gas motor up again. So your burning zero gas at a stop light and zero gas to restart the motor.
2. The electric motor comes into key on hills and such. There is a meter on the car that shows ether if the car is charging or its assisting. Going up a hill the electric motor is assisting and making the gas motor that much more efficient.
The hybrid system has a 8 year/100,000 mile warranty as well. So even if it breaks and you think "well all the money I saved on gas is just going to go towards repairs to the hybrid system later on" then your thinking all wrong. The salesman said they aren't too expensive to replace even if its out of warranty.
Everything is moving towards hybrid nowadays, parts are getting easier and cheaper to make and put into cars.
Again, hope you have a lot of fun with it. It sounds like a fun car.
Also, I know what you mean about the drop. In person my Accord always looked a bit lower (was the perfect height for a DD IMO) than it does in the pictures.
