I can’t tell you how much I love the way this car drives. Saving on gasoline is a big deal to me right now as well. This car has all the perks.

Absolutely love the luxury feel of this little overachiever. Smooth acceleration and very comfy driving. My clubs fit in the back but not recommended if you plan to carry adults in the back seat. Limited in leg room if driver is tall. Otherwise 100% perfect for me!!!

Quiet, smooth, and fuel efficient

It is a great car to drive, with comfy seats and quiet interior. I love the birch colored seats with black dashboard and console - the lighter interior keeps the cabin cooler in the summers, and the black (I got the washi trim) looks cool. It just looks luxurious. Only minor complaint is that the cabin itself is small, so if you have the build of a football linebacker or heavyweight wrestler, this car will feel snug especially if you have folks sitting in the back seat. It was perfectly fine for me driving a full carload of 5 - my teen boys and their friends. With the safety features (automatic braking, lane departure warning, etc.) I feel incredibly safe in despite it being on the smaller size. A lot of folks complain about the lack of acceleration and power, but honestly, who cares? You get a hybrid to be fuel efficient, not race around like you are too important to spare 5 extra seconds to reach the speed limit. Having said that, I am perfectly content (as a former Los Angeles driver who had a horrendous commute on the 405 and often found myself frequently doing multiple lane changes in quick succession just to get anywhere in a decent amount of time) with the acceleration - the smaller size certainly helps with maneuvering in traffic as well as parking. Given the fuel economy, I also love not wasting my time in line at the pump - talk about a time saver!

I WANT to love it, but...

We wanted a compact luxury hatch with AWD and a hybrid powertrain. This was really the only car that fit all of the parameters. I'll start with the positives: Positives: The materials and interior fit and finish are very nice. I was also sold on the fact that a 6' person like me can sit in the back without having to strain my neck. It has a lot of nice touches like the dual hinged center console and little cubby for change. I wouldn't call it "pretty", but it's definitely sporty looking and design has grown on me a bit. I also really like the fact that, unlike the turbocharged German competitors, the car is perfectly happy with regular 87 octane fuel. But there are a lot of big things that make me say "if only..." The drawbacks: Most frustrating is the laughably small fuel tank. We only use it around town, so it's not a big concern for road trips, but when the fuel light comes on, you only have about 20 miles of range left. Even in a city, this can create some serious range anxiety - which is an odd thing for an ostensibly gas-powered car. It's barely 8 gallons even when totally full, so despite being a hybrid if the weather is even moderately cold, you'll spend a lot of time looking for gas stations. The trunk is also comically small. Fine for small items, but it really makes it hard to use for more than short jaunts if you have a dog, child, or even a full shopping cart at Costco. There's seemingly no way to put the wipers in a "service mode" to make them easy to change or even clean them if they get snowy and icy. So if you don't have a garage, it will be annoying to clean off in the winter. Finally - and this is a big one - are the overall user controls. This car really needs a touchscreen, but instead you're stuck with a mousepad setup that's a poor fit with the act of driving. It makes navigating different functions in Apple CarPlay a lot more difficult than it needs to be. The volume control is in a weird spot, and the HVAC controls are laid out as a single row of non-intuitive rocker switches. If you're a single person living a minimalist lifestyle in southern California (and you can get past the lousy user interface), this might be the perfect car for you. But I just can't bring myself to love it like I thought I could.
