Just spent my first week owning this car. Drives great, clients love it, lots of power and have got about 500 km on first half tank of gas. Much roomier and more comfortable than my previous Acura TL at $10K less to own. Folding electric mirrors on the 2012 great for the garage. Hybrid is extremely quiet on highway and around the city it feels like a luxury car. Rear seating and leg room is much more than my old Acura. Very pleased so far.

if you really want a hybrid, buy camry hybrid, if u want a nice looking car and dont care about the price (you lose more $ driving a kia/hyundai than honda and toyota) buy this.
