They finally came! I was guessing it was those two since you just bought the Mitsu beast.

So I know you’ve been shopping. What has caught your attention? After all this thread is “Let’s talk about new vehicles.” and I sure ain’t going to buy any.

You have great taste I bet you will miss both of those, but I see a sweet ride in your future.

After 60 new cars in my life I'm immune from loss....

I had to go to a car dealer this afternoon and it's 14 miles away. I tried several times to get an Uber.
None were available, it took me 90 minutes to get one and for the elcheapo $21.94 the only vehicle in the area was a Tesla Model S.

A guy from Baltimore about 60 miles south got here within the hour.
Great car ...and Norman was a great guy.
2022 model with 70k miles
Very nice inside and the suspension was slightly stiff... Yes I gave him a good tip..

I picked up a new 2025 Honda Accord EX-L Hybrid tonight and fought over getting the Turbo motor since they claimed the Hybrid had dismal highway mpgs...

A lack of some options on the lower trims forced me into a EX-L

I also realize from YT videos people just get dismal mpgs on Hybrids..
Constantly complaining and I drive them as I drive everything else and . mostly all highway... not trying to get mpgs and usually get stellar results...

Driving home tonight with the AC blasting and over 90% highway and I got 58.8 mpgs over the 27 mile drive...the car only has 39 miles on it..... the sticker claims 41 mpg highway..... oh well .....what they are doing I'll never know.... And I never use the Eco mode....it ain't worth the drama....

Second voyage this morning....
McDonald's like brethren @Patman
Still searching for where everything is..... all Pennsylvania and Maryland backroads... unlike the zillion reviews I watched I hear the electric motor all of the time....not bad it's just that the Accord is now very quiet inside unlike previous years and smooth as silk in all respects

17.3 miles and 64.7 mpg......
We have a winner

I would love to have a hybrid to see what kind of MPG I can squeeze out of it! When I’m driving on slower roads doing a steady 30-40 mph this is the kind of numbers I see from my 2.0 Civic

Two bros who know how to eat at McDonald's and properly drive hybrids without steaks and sodas
Awesome job

And mine isn’t even a hybrid! But I drive it like it is, as I do a lot of coasting and sometimes I do the “pulse and glide” method of driving that hybrid drivers do (that method works a little on a non hybrid too)

I do love a good steak though, it’s one of my favorite foods

Yeah I know its not a Hybrid but we both have 2.0 L engines
I expect after break in when I actually try I will see over 100 MPG
So far with very few miles without ECO mode its stellar for a large car and the HWY rating is only 41 mpg

The wheels are gray and look similar to the Maverick

I'm talking purchased in the last 90 days. Ford dealer, then bam at the Honda dealer and something something about buying 3 cars???

The money is not the concern obviously.

I sold two cars of mine in the last 2 weeks
Sold an old suv for my neighbor as it was an estate deal... bought my Mitsubishi this year and now the Accord. I do have a F350 on order for my 179 tax deal but like you no real idea when it will come in.

I was on the phone coming home with the Accord last night and my Maverick buddy from TN called me and I told him I just got it and him and his wife were on the way to Sonic and he asked me where I was going.... I told him to Carvana to see what I could get for the new Accord...he busted out laughing
