Good.. Not great..
It's a really nice vehicle, I absolutely love a lot of what it offers.. I see other reviews making note of the MPG, but i consistently see 47mpg in city and 35mpg on the highway, so i don't know what they are actually doing to cause low MPG. But, my major issue with this thing is build quality and the safety features, both of which are awful. It looks like it was painted with a roller.. There's orange peel all over the place, i even have water marks under the clear coat over the paint. I have already replaced the windshield through insurance because it cracked, and the new glass is so much better it's not even worth being upset that the last windshield broke. I much like another poster have the same stupid rotational scrub feeling on first start (Hybrid), the dealerships said it's normal, it feels like the clutch a clutch is slipping, but since there's no codes, you have a better chance of seeing bigfoot than having it fixed. Then we have the electronic safety system, which works great, if you are a terrible driver, this is the best vehicle you can buy, but if you know how to drive, this is the worst deathtrap you can own, since you can't disable the settings permanently, causing you to have to go through all the menus every time you drive, and some of them you have to disable multiple times, depending on direction of travel. The blind spot monitoring is so slow, i can park the car between itself and the object twice before it registers we have passed it. The Blind spot monitoring cameras can't be used independently of the safety alarm system, so when you do turn it off, you lose everything. The forward collision warning system will lock the car in an intersection and put you directly into harms way, without any way to move.. because it thinks it knows better than you the driver. It's designed by people who have never driven, for people who can't drive.
My suggestion.. Avoid this thing till they work out the bugs..
But.. Assuming they could work out the bugs, and quality issues, i would go 5 stars and compare it to a Mercedes in ride quality and comfort.. it really is comfortable.. and on long stretches of highway, the annoying safety systems are much better tuned to run 80mph on the open road.
But.. IMO until they give you the driver 100% control of the vehicle, this thing is a HUGE deathtrap and should be avoided.
