Actually, the hybrid Accord out performs the regular Accord, but I stick to my original assertion that the increased wear-and-tear of hard driving may come to haunt you in a hybrid. The Accord and Camery might be more forgiving than other hybrids, but if I were to attempt to speed in a semi-fuel efficient way, I'd get the smallest sedan that would fit my needs and get a 5-speed.
