Purchased As New

So we bought this car just under a month ago and love it. Fits our family of 4 great, even with the kids in booster seats. It came loaded with leather, Bose sound (awesome), sunroof, and everything but navigation ($2000 extra). It drives so smooth, quiet, and handles like a regular Altima. It has the 2.5 engine in it, and all of the normal set up, so highway driving is great, and city driving is smooth. I don't even feel when it changes from battery mode to gas. Must be that great gearless transmission. The trunk is a little small, due the batteries being stored behind the rear seat, but has enough room for a trip to the store, or an extended trip with our bags. My wife and I try to compete to see who gets the better mileage out of it, (she wins usually), as it is her primary car. Lots of safety features and good ratings, and so far have averaged 32 mpg on hwy and over 35 in the city. Very comfortable and fun to drive. Quiet inside, great stereo, and looks great as well. I highly recommend this car to anyone in the market for a hybrid, economy car, new family car, etc. We downgraded from a Town and Country van which we loved as well, and had no issues with. But the over 10 mpg increase in the city is paying off already.
