Likes: 37 mpg! Very smooth drivetrain with the electric motor providing good midrange torque. Much more maneuverable than the Pilot. Surprisingly good highway car, definitely better than the gas-only CR-V.

Dislikes: Needs about 35 more horsepower to be truly entertaining to drive. Government-mandated warning kazoo when driving in electric-only mode garners strange looks from pedestrians. The placement of the hybrid battery in the former spare tire well means that the spare tire is former as well. Low rolling resistance tires feel greasy on wet interstates.

Verdict: Pretty good old-fart car that needs better tires.
