Not bad. Good money saving car when it works good.

It is what I need. Saves a lot of money. It has freedom of gas and money savings of electricity. Maybe not too good for a long drive if you rely on electricity but MPG is good enough to combine for a long trip.

Too many sensor failures and sluggish acceleration

The dealer has been great through about 5 recalls and about 6 warranty claims. One sensor or another (crankshaft, oxygen, gas tank) seems to go out every year. Thank God there is a great warranty. Acceleration is adequate only if you are driving in the electric mode. In hybrid mode, acceleration is poor, and the transmission seems to be down a gear from where it should be (hard to get it to kick into a higher gear). Interior features are good. I am OK with the trunk room - the space is the same as the Camry hybrid trunk, but there is no donut as I had in my prior Camry. I have eaten a lot of doughnuts at the dealership over the years that I have this car. Gas mileage is poor in the winter even without the heater on because the mileage in the engine warm up phase is very poor.
