I was really excited to buy the Hybrid. It is incredibly quiet and the technology is wonderful. It is hard to tell when you are going back and forth from the battery. However, the gas mileage has been a huge disappointment in the 2 years I have owned the car. Although represented on the sticker as getting 37/43 MPG, I have never gotten better than 30MPG in the City. On long road trips, I have gotten 38 MPG. But that is about the best I ever get, and in my opinion the MPG sticker was grossly overstated.
On the other hand, there is no reason not to own one. Its mileage is probably better than many other models I would have chosen.
One other negative is that I don't like the visibility out of the front and rear dashboard, but I may just be used to my Volvo in that regard. And finally, the quality of the paint and the rear bumper are fragile and easily scratched.
