Good vehicle - couple of flaws that are a nusiance
Bought this car as a daily driver to/from work. approximately 22 miles with both high speed multi-lanes and narrow lows speed traffic/stop lights. I consistently meet or beat the predicted mpg. Great Value for the money. irks - sometimes when temps below 43 degrees it downshifts instead of upshifts (2nd to low when expecting 2nd to 3rd) with no real load. and it downshifts poorly under braking coming to a stop. This is often referred to as "sticky" or "touchy" brakes. Not the brakes, but rather as you brake, car is displaying "EV" (and mode is ECO) you get a hard downshift causing you to shift forward and thereby pressing harder on the brake pedal. I test drove their other newer hybrid vehicles and they see m to have that sorted out. Would think this would be a software update.. Otherwise, I do my best to recommend this car to any of my coworkers with longer drives... I am very happy with this vehicle to date (18K+ miles). Made trip to WI 2 times in dead of winter (+850 miles) and only need one stop for fill up so can pick best price stations anywhere and make it. Note best mpg as calculated 47.2 mpg on 10% ethanol, 50.2 mpg on regular (no ethanol), all with ave of 5mph over posted speed limits (min of stop/40 max of 75 mph). Great trunk space on a hybrid tooooooooo......
