Cons

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  I’m getting 47 mpg based on my driving and even counting for the electricity costs it’s still equivalent to a 40mpg car with 280 hp!!!! You do have to use 92 grade gas.

• Ride and Handling

  it’s rear wheel drive, but handles like a dream.

• Technology and Entertainment

  I use Sirius. The sound quality is great!

Cons

• Cost to Maintain

  So far it’s free, but looking at the superb service station, I’m pretty sure servicing the hybrid vehicle will prove expensive. I did pay $400 to get Sirius activated, but also had a free ice cream when we picked up the washed vehicle.

• Technology and Entertainment

  it’s complex and takes some learning.

Pros

• Power

  it still drives like a BMW

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  charge and battery life is terrible

• Interior Space

  small

• Technology and Entertainment

  no bells or whistles
