sweet ride
Love this car! I had some issues with the computer system thinking my inverter coolant was low (it wasn't) but a software update fixed it. Other than that the car has been a joy to drive.
Great bang for your buck
First and foremost this has been a great vehicle and even though I am writing this after only driving less than 2000 miles I thought I would give my first impressions. The handling and acceleration are impressive for a vehicle of this size when in "sport" mode and the mileage is "wowing" those that I talk with averaging around 40 mpg. There are so many convenience and safety features that come with the "S" trim that I purchased such as heated front seats and remote start. I know what you are thinking, "What's missing?" My wife will tell you that she wishes the front seats were a little more "plush" and that the passenger seat had more adjustments but I did reminder her that to get that you would be looking at much more expensive brands/models of vehicles. This is replacing my 2008 Kia Sedona and one thing I noticed is that the amount of storage room is less but the hybrid drivetrain has more than doubled my fuel economy yet I still have seating for six so it is something that I will learn to live with. The only feature that I wish it had was active cruise control but I realize I could have moved up the trim-line for that feature and did not feel the cost was worth it. Overall I am very happy with the vehicle. I plan on driving it for many years to come and if gas prices continue to rise I feel that the Hybrid will continue to pay off in the long run.

Too many unfixed issues
As mentioned in another review, there is the constant "refill inverter fluid" issue. Also having "Check hybrid system. Stop Car", and being told nothing it wrong with the car. It seems heat, like here in Florida, tends to be an issue. Have also read cold causes issues. So if you live somewhere temperate year round then you should be fine. Also annoying that the Android Auto has trouble connecting to phones when they're on the wireless cell phone charger. Works much better if the phone sits in the cupholder.

"Refill Inverter Coolant" and no one seems to know what to do to fix it. Have talked to a couple dealers about this and they say its ok to drive. It is annoying and I (or anyone that owns one) should have to see on their display when driving. Not so sure I will keep it long or recommend one to anyone who might ask me.

Got a few screwy things about it
Have trouble putting this thing in gear. Have 3k miles on it, is hard to put in gear sometimes, it just won't click in with the dial and get in gear. Went to move it at our house this evening and the thing acted like it had brakes on it, it would not move forward or backward and the screen kept saying that I needed to fasten my seatbelt which I had done, said to make sure the back gate was closed which it was I double checked it I had to shut the thing off two or three times to get the park to release so I can move it. Absolute screwy piece of equipment. I would have to think long and hard before I ever bought another one of these.
