Fuel Economy
it’s comfortable to drive. it gets good gas mileage. it as a decent Sound system. looks great.
Interior Space
it fits my large hydro flask in it’s drank holder.
Cabin Noise
it can get a little loud, when going up steep hills but it does have the power to easily climb. this is a mild complaint. overall I am very pleased with the purchase.
Fuel Economy
i take highways to work pretty much every day, when i really try, i can get 42mpg. when i don't really think about it and drive regularly, i get about 37mpg. still great!
Interior Space
hatchbacks forever! i'm a musician so i keep the backseats down basically all the time. i can fit so much crap in this car it's ridiculous. but when a tall person sits in the backseat, their head can touch the ceiling! but up front everything is perfect, PLENTY of space.
Power
even when i slam the gas down it doesn't accelerate quickly, my old 4 cylinder accord crushes this car in that aspect. BUT the whole point of the car is to save gas so i leave it in ECON mode which pretty much asks your engine to calm down a bit.
Technology and Entertainment
high tech, fully loaded
Dashboard
very nice design
Safety
airbags all over
Fuel Economy
high mileage gas saver
Cost to Maintain
easy maintenance
Fuel Economy
I am averaging 45 mpg non-highway trips. Haven't been on a highway trip other than to W. Virginia - this car is NOT a hill climber.
Interior Space
It has more space than you would expect on a hybrid.
Weather Versatility
Light weight of the car makes it very susceptible to higher winds.
Visibility
Good visibility to the front and sides but the rear view has taken some getting used to - use the side mirrors more than I have ever needed to.
Fuel Economy
It only takes between $25 to $30 to fill up and that's every two weeks after driving 420 miles +/-
Technology and Entertainment
even when it's turned all the way up, it could still be louder
Fuel Economy
Average fuel economy of 42-45 miles/gallon
Dashboard
Excellent guidance to drive efficiently
Ride and Handling
Smooth & easy to operate. Reliable and experienced the goodness of VSA (Vehichle Stability Assist) - mistakenly taken an exit at 45 miles/hour. It should be 25 miles/hour but the vehicle dragged and maintained its stability.
Interior Space
Quite sufficient for a small family (a couple and a kid) but it would be a bit cramped if you travel with 5 passengers including the driver.
Fuel Economy
it's a hybrid
Value
great car for our budget
Styling
not the look for everyone, but i think it has a fairly modern/futuristic appearance
Fuel Economy
Very fuel efficient, great for long distances
Interior Space
Spacious interior and lots of trunk space!
Value
The most inexpensive hybrid out there and still stands up to the others.
Power
Not best when driving up hills, that's where gas is eaten the most.
Braking
When you stop, the engine cuts off to save fuel. This is great unless it is really hot or cold because the air cuts off as well.
Seat Comfort
Could use bigger center console, but I am one that likes resting my elbow when I drive.
