I got a $800 rebate, and a $1,500 rebate right after I bought the car, not to mention the $4,000 federal tax credit. So only cost me around $20,000 in the end. 27 miles full electric (it says 29... but that's only if you dont run the AC or heater), then 50 mpg when on gas.. just amazing whether you are on electric or petrol. Had it for over a year without any problems at all with the best warranty in the business. Best car I have ever owned. Only reason the car doesnt have higher sales is because it can only be bought in california! I have had one minor issue however, if it is 110 degrees outside the electric charging cable will get stuck in the car charging port, and cannot be pulled out unless you release it with the manual override under the hood (it's a spring you tug on) but this only happens about once or twice a year, and only if its extremely hot outside like 110... having to pop the hood for a few seconds once a year is only a minor annoyance.. so no biggie.

Pretty Fun Ride

I've driven everything from a scooter to a boat (crown vic) and this is somewhere in between. I bought it at the start of the pandemic and only needed to buy gas once a month. I typically drive at night in Los Angeles. The car is responsive, has excellent safety features, and is pretty comfortable when stuck in traffic. Breaking in an engine is important when buying a new car for it to run properly down the line. I just drove from Sacramento down to LA and made great time. It hugs the turns and made it through the grapevine while the wife slept comfortably in the front seat. Great sound system, easy to use head unit (though I haven't tried to update it), excellent climate control, good amount of space, and okay headroom. Very easy to maintain with a long warranty.

MORE LIKE 27 MILES ON BATTERY

No complaints! But the battery consistently goes just 27 miles until it says depleted. Funny thing is when you go to charge it always shows about 15% instead of zero like the dash says. Must be a reserve that cant be tapped into.It does really well if you plug it up every night.

Good car with excellent fuel economy. Drives more like a normal car than Prius prime when in hybrid mod. It also has better interior and body looking than Prius.
