Pros
Fuel Economy
usually driven in electric only mode and plug-in at home. On the highway it gets good mileage as well.
Ride and Handling
Generally, it drives great. The only thing I would change would be the cruise control. When in cruise control you can only increase or decrease the speed in 5 mph increments from the steering wheel switch. Previously all of my other cars allowed you to do it in 1 mph increments.
Value
as a used car, it's a great value. We were looking for a PHEV that could tow over 5000 pounds and this was the only one that could really do that at an affordable price.
Cons
Technology and Entertainment
The technology for the infotainment system is very clunky. Also, there is no reason why you should have to go into the touch screen menu three layers deep to change the driving mode of the car. It's something that it's impractical to do while you're driving. to do this, you have to take your eyes off the road and focus on the touchscreen. You cannot do this safely while driving at the same time. Instead, you have to have your passenger change the driving mode. In my other PHEV car, it is relatively easy to do. There's a simple button on the center column that you just push to switch to the driving mode that you want to be in. You don't need to take your eyes off the road to change while driving. Or if you do, it's only briefly. I am also a little bit miffed that they call the electric mode 'pure' as opposed to simply all electric.
Value
it does not come with a spare tire. When we went to buy a spare tire for it. It was super expensive, over $600 from the dealer. Spare parts are very expensive.
