My first impression is that this high tech auto is FANTASTIC! I am very impressed with its performance so far. The posts I have read are very informative and as I learn more tricks I will have better feedback. Just playing with different driving techniques I am already averaging over 31 mpg combined. Not bad since my last SUV was good for only 21 mpg.... WAY COOL is all I can say!
