Hi Everyone, I first want to say thanks to all the different posts in this forum. I spent a fair amount of time doing internet research on whether the Energi was for me and I got convinced that it could be the one for me with all the wealth of info found here....THANK YOU! I picked up a 2013 Titanium model with all the options from a dealer that took the car on a dealer to dealer trade. Fortunately for me, the car sat in their inventory for a lot longer than they wanted and at the end of the day, I got a smoking deal with rebates, tax credit and other dealer incentives that totaled nearly $10K. Oh, by the way, don't forget to ask for the competitor lease rebate (Conquest cash) for $1K. I love, love the car. Came from a high performance German sports car and I don't feel like I've downgraded at all. Stating the obvious, the zoom zoom is not there, but my driving experience has become of a challenge every time I get behind the wheel of how much I can eek out of the car. It has become a bit of an obsession and addiction. I've put on a lot of highway miles of late so I'm not having the same experience as those that haven't filled up the tank in over 1,000 miles of driving, but I get pumped when I return a 58MPG figure on a 77 mile drive from Colorado Springs to Denver! I should have done better, but because I'm still learning the car, I didn't use all of my 'saved' EV potential before reaching the parking garage. A couple of nits that I didn't know and still baffled how it is given the amazing-ness of the car overall are: 1. Passenger seat has no height adjustment. 2. No HID headlights 3. MyFord Touch does NOT support the SynchApp - Pandora streaming still need to reach for the phone to change song or give thumbs up/down 4. The charge port door is flimsy and prone to forget to close - has happened twice already in 4 days! These are nits and no car is perfect. The pleasure I get out of driving the Energi and sense of good-doing I'm doing for the environment far out weighs the negatives and I'm happy to be part of the family! Best, Energi4Me

On my test drive, I asked the salesperson if the display in the center console showed vehicle status (hybrid mode, EV mode, etc.) He was adamant that it was only for phone, nav, climate and entertainment. I ended up finding it for myself and showing him. His response was like wow, learn something new everyday. You think? No wonder the car sat in their inventory for so long. No clue what the car is able to do. I agree with everyone's inputs on this topic. My suggestion is for the sales guys to review the video clips on the owner's website. You get a 3 minute video of just about all the important features of the cars. That would be a start....then if only we can avoid the "please give me a 10 on the survey or I don't eat or feed the kids"! I just stopped filling them out.
