Is the Honda Accord environmentally friendly?

Question

I know that basically any car is not totally healthy but how is the Honda Accord?

I can't afford to buy a smartcar or a hybrid, so this is my option!

At least it isn't a hummer, right?

:)

Answer 1

no, a lincoln  navigator is.

Answer 2

Yes, very much so.  Avg. fuel efficiency for the 2008 is 26 mpg for the four cylinder.

And it is a nice car, and Honda dealers are easy to deal with when you need maintenance and repair.

Answer 3

No, the Accord is quite large and pretty powerful, so it only gets 25 mpg, and it costs nearly as much as a Prius (and more than a Smartcar) at $19,000.

Consumer Reports just named the Honda Fit the best car for under $25,000.  It costs $15,000 and gets 36 mpg, so it's both a lot cheaper and a lot better for the environment than the Accord, and according to Consumer Reports, a better car overall.

A couple of other reasonably green and affordable cars are the Toyota Yaris and Ford Focus.  You can peruse the top 100 cars by Yahoo Green rating here:
