If you’re looking to buy a 2006 Honda Accord Hybrid, you may be in for a treat, at least according to reviewers.

Automotive.com writes that it “may be the best of the midsize sedans. The Accord simply does everything well. It may not be best in class in every single area, but we can’t think of anything it does poorly. And the coupe packs the Accord’s attributes into a sporty two-door.”  ReviewCars.com also liked it, overall, and gave it a 4.5 out of 5 rating.

The MSRP is $18,225 - $29,300 and MPG is 21-29/30-37 (City/HWY).

Mercury joined the lineup of hybrid car dealers in 2005, and here’s what reviewers had to say about this year’s Mercury Mariner SUV…

Automotive.com said this year’s Mariner “continues unchanged on the outside, its slick and clean design accented by Mercury’s avant-garde styling cues. Inside is a pleasant and calming cabin with room enough for the kind of stuff people who are moving up from the Milan sedan or retreating from the more truck-like Mountaineer need to haul around.”

Consumer Guide said it “is a luxury-trimmed version of the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute” whose “performance and accommodations mirror those of comparably equipped Escapes and Tributes.”

MSRP on models runs from $21,380 to $24,885 and mileage runs from 19/23 mpg to 22/26 mpg.

Thinking of getting a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid?  CNET gave it a “spectacular” nine out of ten and reviewed it and had this to say: “The 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid is a comfortable, well-appointed sedan, equipped with a bevy of technology, from the economical hybrid propulsion system to a raft of standard in-car devices, including a Bluetooth interface and a premium audio system.”  The only complaint being that its “optional GPS navigation unit struggles with voice commands and can lose its bearings when out of town. Alternating between power sources can lead to a jerky ride.”

Edmunds was happy with it too, saying they “came away impressed by the new Camry’s quiet and comfortable cabin, its high degree of interior and exterior build quality, and its overall refinement.”

The MSRP base price is $25900 and mileage of 43 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.

The 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid isn’t your typical hybrid, in that it is the first to feature a V6 engine.  So can you have power and efficiency?  Here’s what reviewers had to say:

Aaron Gold at About.com has reviewed the 2007 Honda Accord and has this to say:

The idea behind IMA is that it takes lots of power to get a car moving, but not much to keep it moving. With a battery-powered electric motor to help out during acceleration, a small fuel-efficient gas engine is all that’s needed — an idea that worked well in the first-generation Insight and Civic hybrids.

Problem is that the Accord’s V6 doesn’t need any help. It can handle passing and merging on its own. Unless you’re drag-racing, the electric motor never really adds any useful assistance. Since the Accord Hybrid can’t run on pure battery power like the Toyota hybrids can, the hybrid system is, for all practical purposes, just along for the ride. In town my mileage never got above the low 20s — no better than a conventional V6-powered Accord.

However, AllAutoReviews has a different viewpoint of the new V6 hybrid, saying “Unlike most Hybrid models, the Honda Accord Hybrid sedan focuses on both performance as well as fuel efficiency. Whether you are looking for a sedan that comes with power, performance, comfort, luxury and fuel efficiency, the 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid sedan can be a nice choice to go for. ”

This hybrid gets an EPA mileage of 28 city and 35 highway and has an MSRP price of $31090-$33090

Those who enjoy driving SUV’s but want to be more fuel-efficient may want to consider getting this gas-electric powered SUV. 

Automotive.com says about it: “The first thing you should know about the Escape Hybrid is that, for the most part, it drives just like a regular Escape. It demands little, if any, additional effort or knowledge from the driver. That’s impressive, considering its complexity. In short, the Ford Escape Hybrid is a superb vehicle, smooth, responsive, comfortable and convenient.”

The MSRP price is $26,900 - $28,525 and the MPG is 33 in the city and 29 on the highway.

You may not be able to get your hands on one of the 75 limited edition 2007 Lexus hybrids, but the 2006 RX400h is a great choice according to car reviewers.

Automotive.com reviewed it and said “The RX 400h boasts all the advantages of a hybrid gas-electric vehicle: Emissions are extremely low, reducing your impact on the environment to something in the neighborhood of nil. And it burns about as much gas as a compact car, reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil…. But it’s also fast and powerful.”

CNET points out the positives and negatives, the good being that it has “fast acceleration; unencumbered LCD and separate audio display; versatile rear-seat entertainment system” and the bad being that it bears “grainy LCD map display; no factory option for surround sound or satellite radio; notched feeling in electric power steering.”

The MSRP price range is from $44,660.00 - $48,410.00.
