As a reasonably priced used car this automobile fulfills all of my needs. It is extremely economical and very luxurious. I have driven the car 10,000 miles in three months. One 4,000 mile trip, and another 1,000 mile trip. I plug the car in every time it is in the garage, and 5,250 of the 10,000 miles driven have been all electric. It is currently averaging 62 miles per gallon for those 10,000 miles when combining electric and gas. I routinely go 45 miles per charge, and I do not hypermile. I drive rapidly like a normal mature driver. The only problem this car ever had was the ridiculous price when it was new.Pros

Fun to drive. Great styling and thanks to lower gas prices and a surge in SUV popularity, the ELR can be had for well below it's MSRP. I've seen many complaints about the engine (generator) noise once the battery power is depleted. Personally, I found no issue with it. It was not something I noticed. And this was after specifically shutting off the radio and listening for it. It's not intrusive nor is it as bad as I was led to believe prior to driving. Also, at 6'1", I can say the front seats are roomy enough for me over extended periods of operation. Obviously this is not the case with the back seats but then, this probably isn't your first choice if you need to move people. This was a used as a second vehicle for work & weekend usePros
- Fuel Economy: I've exceeded the advertised battery range on several occassions
- Styling: It turns heads and draws attention both on the road and when parked
- Cabin Noise: Very quiet in both battery and gas mode
Cons
- Braking: As with many EV's, the brakes seem a bit slushy and not as firm. It appears that this is one of the improvements made in the 2016 model
- Technology and Entertainment: Personally I love the CUE system but it may not be for everyone. A tech savvy person may find it intuitive. Someone else may find it cumbersome however as many adjustments can't be made without taking your eyes off the road. Thankfully, there are steering-wheel mounted buttons that suffice
- Power: The car can feels under-powered under heavy acceleration. it's not necessarily a deal breaker but it's something you notice while merging

It's an absolutely great driving car and all of the electronic aids are helpful; I especially use the cross-traffic monitoring when backing up. It's an electric car and by using Carmax to acquire it from out of state makes it eligible for the $6,000 state alternative vehicle rebate. I equipped it with a "Plugless" charger so it automatically recharges every time I drive in; if the sun is shining then it's for free from PV panels.Pros
