Been a luxury crossover leaser for over the past decade. Been in multiple Cadillac SRX's and currently in a Lincoln MKX.
However, I am retiring in 13 months. My lease on my Lincoln is almost up. I don't need to be driving a luxury vehicle in my retirement years. I actually should be spending less on a lease and still drive something decent.
My brother has a Honda Civic Hybrid. They don't make it anymore. He loves the vehicle. He can drive from North Carolina to NJ in a little over a tank of gas. That's pretty amazing. I think he gets 47 MPG average.
I used to drive an Acura RDX. Loved it. No doubt, Honda makes great cars. The Accord is their top seller.
I still have a year of commuting so the gas savings on a hybrid would be sensational. I am always having to budget for gas when it comes to my Lincoln. To be able to get more than double the MPG with a hybrid is just a crazy attraction for me.
The only concern I have is that the Honda Accord Hybrid is FWD. I am used to having an AWD. Here in NJ, we have some nasty snow storms. I still have to commute next winter.
How do FWD vehicles fare in snow? I know RWD vehicles are really bad in the snow. Should I expect problems with a FWD?
You can also give me your opinion on my choice of vehicle.
Thanks in advance
