Cons

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  I've exceeded the advertised battery range on several occassions

• Styling

  It turns heads and draws attention both on the road and when parked

• Cabin Noise

  Very quiet in both battery and gas mode

Cons

• Braking

  As with many EV's, the brakes seem a bit slushy and not as firm. It appears that this is one of the improvements made in the 2016 model

• Technology and Entertainment

  Personally I love the CUE system but it may not be for everyone. A tech savvy person may find it intuitive. Someone else may find it cumbersome however as many adjustments can't be made without taking your eyes off the road. Thankfully, there are steering-wheel mounted buttons that suffice

• Power

  The car can feels under-powered under heavy acceleration. it's not necessarily a deal breaker but it's something you notice while merging

Pros

• Styling

  doesn't look like ever yother vehicle on the road!

  leather and suede is perfect execution

  slightly louder than expected during generator operation - but the active noise cancelling works well
