Great sporty car! Awesome gas mileage and safety features and dash display!
After paying for itself in gas savings (averaging 50, occasionally 75 MPG, but only 40 MPG on frigid days!), my favorite thing about this car, is it's vivid, crisp LARGE dash display with live animation of engine and electric power generation, and fuel economy, miles to empty, temp, tire pressure, trip, and timer. It needs a current TOTAL timer, displaying TOTAL HOURS that it has been DRIVEN vs. TOTAL HOURS that it has been ON (idling, but not being driven), and a GRAND TOTAL of HOURS DRIVEN + ON (idling), just like it displays current TOTAL MILEAGE. It is unclear how it calculates average speed on the trip meter. I'd like a GRAND TOTAL METER, in addition to the resettable Trip Meters, A & B. I'd like the ability to ADD internet connectivity after purchase. I LOVE the BLIND SPOT PROTECTION, electric seats and mirrors, seat heater, & LOVE the removable, washable, silicone mats inside the cup holders, and door crevices! I wish my car came with the wireless charger. I love the adjustable steering wheel and love the sporty interior and exterior. When I got it, THE BODY LINES were FLAWLESS! After Michigan's harsh roads, they are no longer so impressively perfect. My tires do go low occasionally, but I'm happy for the tire pressure dash reading and alert system for each tire. I love the animations for ajar doors and other hazards. The DISPLAY is EXCEPTIONAL! The rear camera picture is amazingly clear! It beeps in reverse and beeps when cars are near. I'd love a front beep detector or camera to see or alert you to objects in front, like curbs, poles, & objects; the car sits very low, so these are hard to see, and the bumper easily gets caught up and scrapes on big curbs. Overall, I'm happy driving this sporty, economy car! I love the price, under $20,000. and all the technology for economy and safety and is made with sustainable components. I appreciate the diligence taken in the manufacturing process. My only complaint is that the pinstripes immediately began to wear off, a little more each trip through the new soft-cloth car wash. The car wash said it was not their fault: all new equipment, no other complaints. I agree. The stripes were not applied on a ready surface. I'm ashamed of the exterior now with partially worn off pinstripes. A different dealership investigated and said that pinstripes are not applied at the factory but were applied at a dealership. The dealership where I got the car, said they did not put them on and could not warranty them. I persisted and the Sales Manager said he will investigate a solution for me. Otherwise, I LOVE this SPORTY, WONDERFULLY PRICED, HIGH TECH, HIGH MPG, STYLISH, COMFORTABLE and VERSATILE car! For a hybrid, it has way more power than expected and has done over 100 MPG without shaking or showing distress. It has plenty of passing and acceleration speed. The breaking seems a bit scary sometimes, though, on sudden stops. (Not sure what to make of that.)
