I'm considering trading in my '09 Fit MT for a 9th gen Accord (2 kids now) and was wondering if anyone has real world fuel economy data between the MT and CVT Accords. I've searched and the thread below is all that I could find.
In my Fit, I'm averaging about 35-37 mpg (3-5 above EPA estimates). I took a new position and commute about 65-70 mi a day - 90% of it highway at 70-75 mph, so fuel economy is important.
I've also read conflicting information about the MT in the Accord, and no one around me stocks one. Car and Driver said it was one of the best MTs in the business for their long term test car, while others say its 'mushy'.
All else being equal, I'd prefer the MT, but I was impressed with the CVT I drove.
Thank you for any input.
