Initially I thought the gas mileage would be much better. I average 22 miles per gallon in the city. The 6 speed transmission is frustrating if you ever need to rapidly accelerate. It takes sometimes a full second to engage if you floor it. It does this because the computer is looking for the right gear to maximize gas millage. The blind spots are horrible. I've accidentally cut off more people than I care to admit to, despite my looking before changing lanes.
