 Well, what it was lacking in power before has now been fixed. You say you can merge in comfortably and gun it when you really have to, but can you have your cake and eat it too? Can you have the power and save on gas? Let's go back. We're not gunning anywhere with this thing. It's still not going to be very quick, but it's just a little less nail-biting now when you go to accelerate. It's actually going to get to zero to 60 in a lot quicker than maybe you would think a hybrid car will. And yeah, it gets even better gas mileage than the last one. I got about 43 miles per gallon for the week I had.
