I have the Accord Hybrid. The transmission is rather annoying. It will
shift from 3rd to 2nd gear or 5th to 4th gear on the slightest gas pedal
nudge. The motion of driving over a bump unlocks the torque converter.
But, getting it from 5th to 3rd or or 2nd to 1st requires WOT for a full
second. Stomp on the gas at 60MPH and it feels like you slow down first.
