23 mph combined mileage (decades of driving are needed for the fuel savings to compensate for the additional cost of this hybrid sedan)Occasional glare from overpolished wood and aluminum trim can be extremely distractingRegenerative braking system is unwieldy for new drivers, although they should adapt with experienceThe controls are cheap looking, plastic and not the same standard as the rest of the carLoss of trunk space due to hybrid battery, resulting in a meager 10.6 cubic feet of luggage space as compared to the traditionally gas powered model's 15 cubic feet.Curb weight further detracts from fuel economy
