One of the biggest things we had to get used too was the combination of the new transmission and the on again off again on together off again of the electric and normal motors. Somewhere around 50 - 60 MPH the electric motor always seems to turn off/reset and I feel a sudden loss of power that then returns. I can tell it's the electric motor because the KW gage falls to zero every time it happens, then rises again. It is similar to the feeling that happens when the regular motor turns off and on at the lower speeds only opposite. This may happen at other speeds as well.

I have also noticed that this car likes to have the gas pedal pressed firmly and drives almost normal this way. However, that is not the way most of us want to drive a hybrid. We tend to have a very light foot to try and coax it longer in EV mode. The car wants to be driven normally.

Make no mistake, this car does not drive like any other car we have owned, but the slight twitchiness seems to occur as a combination of all of the above and seems normal but tends to be magnified when we are paying close attention to "Hybrid" driving.
