Obviously it didn't work. But it was worth a try...

How many miles do you get on it real world? How do you like it?

Honestly, I like it a LOT more than the Prius my sister has. She has a 2010 one, hers used to get 48-50 mpg but 63k miles later, it now gets 40-44.

The Energi gets me around 45-55mpg when the electric battery is empty. In the winter it's considerably lower range than other seasons (in the spring/summer/fall I was getting 20-25 miles per charge, now it's 14-18). If I drive it, it's mostly to train station and home so I don't go into gas mode often. The best I've gone (11k miles since May), on one tank is... 870-something miles.

I like... the ride, looks, comfort, quiet, roomy interior, luxurious features, comfortable seats, 0-60 in ~8 seconds (for what it is, quite good), handles nicely. Not like a sporty car by any means but it has considerably less body roll than other midsize cars and hybrids.

I don't like the myFord sync system (it's rather unintuitive) and the trunk space is small. However the rear seats fold down.

That is incredible how much a fall off a few years can have on the Prius. I had no idea. I assumed after 10 years yes, but only a few years. Yikes!

I think the fusion is awesome. Although now the Focus has the same front and has the hatch I don't know which way I'd go.

It definitely looks comfortable to be in.

I heard the trunk space is small; which is really odd to me for a midsize car. Thanks for sharing.

From September

The trunk is large on the non-hybrid/energi ones

That's an awesome dash. I dig the read outs too.
