The car is extremely reliable. Routine maintenance is all I've had to do. It's not a speed demon, but I knew when I bought a hybrid that it would be sluggish. The styling is plain and the fact that I got a white car probably didn't help. Some of the fit on the interior is a little off (e.g. the driver side window is prone to go out of alignment and the dealer can't seem to fix it, there's a plastic bit on the dash that won't stay flat, etc.). When the car is fully tricked out for economy (e.g. low viscosity oil, low friction tires, etc.), the gas mileage is great. If not fully adapted for mileage, the fuel economy is only average.
