Pros: The dynamics is ok, but no more.
Consumption in city economical driving mode is around 7 litres per 100 km in summer, and around 8 litres in winter, around 6.5 litres on the motorway.
The suspension is stiff, therefore the car steers very good. The interior is bit narrow, but well made. Quality of the materials is excellent, feels like a premium class car. The only bad thing is that the plastic is too fragile - it is easy to scratch.
Cons: Do not feel any gain from electric engine, apparently the heavy hybrid system is to blame.
