 Giving this a try as a "mom car."  The biggest PITA is trying to use standard driving directions.  Yes, highway mileage brings out what's probably the weakest point on the car. I've gotten my mileage estimate up to 110, but that's using my own hybrid of biking directions and knowing my way around both the roads and bike paths after having lived (relatively adventurously) in my city for 20 years.  There's also a driving style adaptation; I'm a chronic speeder, and one of the reasons I got this car was to self-impose restrictions on that.  Simply having the kWh display has been enlightening, to say the least.  (All cars should have some sort of energy-burn display).  If you drive a gas-powered car, be prepared for a change.  It's a good one, but a shift none the less.  ***  For reference, the trunk size with the seats down is about the same size as my old Forester with one huge exception: the angle of the back of the car.  I use my old trunk mat, but height in the back is so seriously lacking I'm thinking of removing the interior of the trunk panel just for the added couple inches.  ***  Visibility from inside the car is why I bought this.  It's not as good as older cars with nice big windows and narrow frames, but it's better than any of the other eCars I drove.  I've given up on being visible to other drivers, frankly, so... this one is great on agility, and the horn is loud enough while still having a polite staccato.  Traction in <4" of snow, on ice, and in the rain is the best I've owned (but also the newest).  ***  It's really fun.  Charging stations are popping up in new places, I'm saving a car-payment's-worth in gas and oil changes, I can whip a u-turn right on the street and nab a really tiny parking space, and getting service simply having a newer car, even with Chrysler-FIAT, is a whole lot better than trying to fight for cred driving an older car.
