Default 2005 hybrid owner

Hi all,
We are the proud owner of a Honda accord Hybrid that gets used about 30000 miles a year. It is my wife's daily driver.
I drive my miles in a V8 VW Touareg with 310 horse power but no match for the Honda as far as accelleration. That electromotor really gives it a punch. I call it instant turbo. That is what it feels like.

Wife just busted the left taillight.
Bought a new one but need some help. I will post a separate thread for that.

Welcome!
310hp is cool, but I think there's also a weight difference between those 2 vehicles...

That is what I meant. The Touareg is so much heavier 5300# that the Honda will outrun it.
Then again, you cannot pull anything with the Honda.
The Hybrid is rated 450 lbs for towing?
Anyone know why?
