I'm looking at buying a used 2006 HondaAccord Hybrid because that's the first year it has Electronic Stability Control, and they stopped making this model with a hybrid engine in 2007.
My question: was there any reason they stopped making hybrids in this line that I should know about? At the Wikipedia's Accord site it says that Honda's stated reason was that "hybrids work better in smaller cars", or something to that effect. I'm also concerned about the extent to which it will be harder to get good service on a discontinued model. (The reason I'm not looking at a smaller Honda is because I'm 6'4", so I need the extra head and legroom.)
Thanks for any insights anyone can give me; I'm interested in this vehicle because it has such good reliability ratings according to Consumer Reports' Used Car Guide.
