(14,975 posts)No, I LOVE IT! I don't drive every day and usually just around town. It's the most comfortable car we have and the one we take to Asheville for day trips about once a month. Well, that won't be happening for a while now. I'll just be going to my doc appointments and grocery store. I get over 37mpg, which is insane for such a roomy (big?) car.
One of the options on the instrument panel is that you can see where the power is going (front/back wheels), and if it's on battery or gas or charging. Even though it's my car, my husband kept changing it to that display, so I left it there. I'm guessing the Corolla has the same thing.
Have I mentioned that I LOVE this car? We had a 2005 Sienna until earlier this year. That was my all time favorite car and I sold it to a good friend who absolutely loves it. Don't tell it that I love the new Sienna more.
I briefly had a Honda Accord Hybrid. It was ok, but I didn't love it. That did get stranded in my garage when the starter battery died. The starter battery is not the same as the hybrid battery, so it's something you can buy anywhere. Still, it was sort of disappointing, especially since the emergency key didn't work and we had to call AAA to unlock it for us.
Can't wait to see pics of your new Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid!
