This vehicle is great for commuting to and from work. The more traffic, the better mileage, as the hybrid battery will switch the vehicle to electric vehicle mode only or hybrid mode (and Eco mode). It is a solid vehicle. I have not heard any road noise while on the highway. It has been great in treacherous road conditions, particularly during wet snow or icy road conditions as the traction control will often help to regain control of the vehicle when hitting icy patches. I have never felt safer driving a vehicle. I love getting 38 miles per gallon on average, though I have had a few trips with MPH in the high 40s and the occasional 50.

I bought this car brand new, and it is a very dependable family car. This is definitely a car that you can drive around for a later portion of eight plus years. It is not tailored to one specific gender. The car is sort of a big body, so if you like compact cars, this is not the car for you. Great family car if you have a maximum of a family of five. The backseat is very spacious. Very comfortable car for road trips. The car is very stylish and has an attractive body style. The ride is smooth and does not have many mechanical issues if the car is maintained well. Just like with anything, you have to do your part as a car owner and keep up with the maintenance on the vehicle. Follow manufacturers' recommendations regarding how frequent to get the car serviced. Some things are easily repairable by the driver such as filter changes and headlight repairs. Some of the fuses that may go out can also be repaired by the driver, such as the horn. There are plenty of YouTube videos that can assist is DIY maintenance.
