Well - I've had my car now 2 weeks and I'm averaging 54 miles per gallon.
I've driven about 650 miles in that time period.
The other day we went to NY state and I averaged 56 miles per gallon.
It's great! I don't think it drives with any less acceleration than any other car I've owned - and it's much smoother because the electric engine takes over when necessary.
I bought a blue-tooth phone and it works perfectly with the car. It automatically mutes the radio when a call comes in and goes right back when the call is over. Like driving a cell phone.
I saw a story last night that Toyota has received 13 complaints about the car 'stalling' at high speeds - which is NOT comforting, but that's okay. I have confidence that if that happens - Toyota will fix my car (gulp - if the car is not totalled in the process).
It has enough room for me and my son and the seats fold down. It feels roomy inside and although it's about 5 inches shorter than my PT Cruiser - it has enough cargo space for what I need. And in some respects it's a little bit wider than my Cruiser was.
All in all - I would say now I know why sales are up 180% over last year.
