    HV Mode

    Yep, that's exactly what I do. It's about 5 miles from my house to the freeway (and I don't have charging capabilities at my job) so I use the 'HV Mode' while on the freeway to save up my electric miles for the trip back home. I'm assuming that's the most economical thing to do but someone...

    Why no Sirius/XM???

    I took mine in for the bluetooth update and was told Sirius/XM was not an option on this car. Big fail and really disappointing, no reason was given. Luckily I have unlimited data on my iPhone so I can listen to XM via bluetooth but it's a bit clumsy (especially when driving!). If someone hears...

    I just got my PHEV!!!

    Yep, my post wasn't clear either :/ The below stuff I am clear on: Dash shows EV - electric only for 15 miles Dash shows HV - hybrid mode Long press - Dash shows EV Charge - charging up the battery But... Dash will show yet a 4th mode with nothing lit up (not EV nor HV nor EV charge) if you...

    I just got my PHEV!!!

    Thanks for the quick reply and what you are saying makes sense. However there are 3 modes, that much I am pretty sure of... If you press the HV button once 'HV' lights up on the dashboard (hybrid), long press it and 'HV Charge' lights up, short press it and nothing lights up (gas only I...

    I just got my PHEV!!!

    I have been driving my black PHEV for the past two weeks and absolutely loving it. It is shocking to me that it makes so much sense (15 miles on pure electric which is ~1/2 of all trips and the rest of the time averaging 46 MPG) and it's in such limited production. I do lots of highway driving...

    I just got my PHEV!!!

    I just got mine delivered yesterday from a NY dealership (I live in New Orleans) and it's actually my first Honda ever. My daily commute is around 10 miles to/from work and I like the fact that even if I go on a longer trip my gas mileage is excellent. I was considering the Lexus LS Hybrid and...

    Why I'm getting this over the Lexus ES 300H

    Salesman just called me and said my car is on a ship from Japan and should be here in a few weeks. Said it's a black one (they would have to trade around for a silver one and no one was willing to trade) and gave me the VIN number right then as well. Very excited and definitely will be getting...

    2014 Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid: At Some NY And CA Dealers

    I found it at two LA area dealerships and both told me that it was priced at $5k over invoice. One said they could negotiate a few hundred off but that was it. I stopped calling as he said all dealers were doing the same thing due to each one getting just one car each. Pretty scummy move but...

    Why I'm getting this over the Lexus ES 300H

    Didn't mention color but fwiw I requested the silver!

    Why I'm getting this over the Lexus ES 300H

    I honestly don't remember because I just started calling randomly and closed out my browser when I got "put on the list". I am expecting an email from my salesman closer to the time of the delivery and will be glad to post the name once that happens. I'm really not trying to be mysterious...

    Why I'm getting this over the Lexus ES 300H

    I was set to put down a deposit on the Lexus ES 300H when the press release caught my eye. I am in my 40's and looking for something reliable/safe/tech features/hybrid without breaking the bank. The ES is $46500 with all the bells and whistles but this car is similarly outfitted for less money...
