One of the Best

This "orphan" hybrid from Ford is one of the best cars I have owned. It is solid, relatively quiet, fast, roomy and economical.

Love the car & its features, but very, very disappointed in the cheap plastic surrounding the rear view mirror. I cannot put up a sun shade without it falling off. Truly, had I known this would have been a deal-breaker. I'm in TX and need to be able to use a shade.

Uncomfortable

I drove this 50,000 miles in 1 year as SF Uber/Lyft driver. Good gas mileage. Roomy interior. Hard to sync Bluetooth. Easy to fill gas (no cap) Heavy passenger doors. Slow power lift gate. Small rear storage. Jumpy car. Slow power to pass. Wheels spin on take off and braking, dry & wet roads. Loud turn signal. Uncomfortable seats. Driver seat too high for correct angle of legs to pedals = back pain. Big windshield for good view. Car feels tippy on bumps = low back pain. Windshield wipers bad timing. Nice loud speakers. Ugly side profile of car. Ugly front view of car. Steerng wheel to front tires feels unstable, insecure, esp on highway. First 20,000 miles brakes made awful skid sound when coming to stop at slow speeds. Dealer said "hot spot, can't fix, not dangerous". Seemed like bs.

This rolling computer delivers 41 mpg. No issues after 7500 miles other than a discovery of the need to maintain 40 psi tire pressure.

No problems, but lots of road noise

The vehicle is very reliable, and great on gas, but... it has a lot of road noise. And I find the ride harsh/rough, but it corners great. I don't drive much. At 9 years old, it has just over 27000 km, or about 17000 miles.
