 I purchased the car 4/11/08 and have almost 7000 miles on it already.  The power is great (for a hybrid).   So far I wish for a bigger trunk, but I knew that before I purchased it. Braking is top notch and I have never needed more power in passing or on hills.  I drive mainly freeway to work and road trips. My gas mileage has been 30-32 mpg avg.  I have seen as high as 37 mpg but like I said I drive pretty fast.  I average 75-90 on the freeway. The car is very solid at all speeds but does very poorly up to speed with wind.
