"Post back sometime with your mpg on the new Sonata." @JATR4 - Just refueled for the first time, went for 600 miles on 15 gallons, right at 40mpg. The EPA rating is 39 city/43 highway but the difference seems greater, at least in my car, more like 32 city 45 highway.

Thanks for all the info, folks. I ended up buying a Sonata Limited Hybrid today, they called and offered another $500 off of what was already a very low price and high trade in offer. I had to eliminate the Energi due to the small trunk, need to keep golf clubs in there. Hopefully this will be the last car I buy that requires gasoline.

It's a NEMA 6-30. I suppose I'd have to replace that outlet or get an adapter?

@JATRA4 - If I already have a 240v outlet in my garage, do I still need to spend $800 on an EVSE? Could I just use something like this and plug in to my existing outlet? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-Evr-Green-Mini-Electric-Vehicle-Charging-Station-Level-2-Wall-Mounted-with-12-ft-Cord-000-EVBL2-P12/206617056?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cTHD%7cG%7c0%7cG-BASE-PLA-D27E-Electrical%7c&gclid=CjwKEAjwjqO_BRDribyJpc_mzHgSJABdnsFWz5e-NRq4HFoanBFbGHyBBt7rDvGTJON-R6qHbIZELRoCUU7w_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

@JATR4 - Can you get fit the golf bag if you remove the driver and 3 wood? @eric4539 - If the FFE has a premium build, what accounts for the recalls/service issues?

Thanks for the replies, it is a tough call for me. I've had 3 Sonatas and always felt like I was getting a high quality, so if the FFE has a more premium feel I'll be impressed. And I do like the quiet ride of an electric car. The trunk is a significant issue, I've heard it's too small to carry a golf bag, if that right? My commute is 26 miles round trip, so probably a bit too far for an all-electric ride. Also, I heard the FFE is not compatible with Android Auto, which I have heard is quite useful.

Hi folks, I'm on my third Sonata and was interested in buying the PHEV Sonata, but they are not readily available here in Florida. So now I'm trying to decide between A 2016 Sonata Limited Hybrid and a 2017 FFE Platinum. Would love to hear any opinions. Hybrids are not selling well and both dealers have made tempting offers. The sticker on the Sonata (with Ultimate package) is $35,860 and they are offering to sell it to me for $25,860, that's $10,000 off including rebates. The sticker on the Ford is $40,000 and they would sell it to me for $36,800, and there's a $4,000 federal tax credit, that's a net of $32,800. So the Ford is $7,000 more but it's a 2017 and it is a plug-in. Both cars have some hi-tech features. Any thoughts? Thanks, p
