2014 Honda Accord Hybrid First Drive

2014 Honda Accord Hybrid First Drive

Finally, the hybrid experience everyone expected

The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid made a high-pitched whirring sound as I scooted down a suburban street in Columbus, Ohio.

It was in EV mode and my goal was to max out the Accord's fuel economy. It's a typical challenge from a carmaker that is touting a new high-mileage vehicle.

The Accord Hybrid, a second hybrid try for Honda, is the kind of eco-friendly vehicle everyone expected in the first place. It's just taken Honda a few years to deliver a fuel sipper with that futuristic electric-car feel. It can cruise at slower speeds in electric only mode and then -- when it hits the highway or when the lithium ion battery pack runs low -- a gas engine kicks on to help drive the car.

2014 Motor Trend SUV of the Year Winner: Subaru Forester

Get Smart: Fuel-Efficient, Capable, and Fun to Drive? Our Choice is a No-Brainer

Subaru has a knack for making the right size vehicles for the marketplace, with just the right level of capability people want. As the SUV landscape has changed and traditional body-on-frame SUVs have been overtaken by unibody crossovers and sport/utes, Subaru has changed as well. It moved from selling smaller wagons to making unibody crossovers, and these vehicles resonate with buyers. The company's Forester and Outback have gotten larger over time, but not so large that they scare off loyal Subaru fans. Subarus aren't over the top or ostentatious; they're honest and smart.

The redesigned 2014 Forester has better efficiency, added power, and increased cargo volume, without a significant increase in overall size. The new Forester provides a comfortable ride with a roomy interior. Its off-road capability is plenty for the majority of sport/utility buyers. It offers a lot of value for the money. And it accomplishes all this while still being fun to drive.
