 My wife loves the car.  The fuel mileage is good, and she finds the car comfortable.  The problem is that the car is not very reliable.  The battery has gone dead on at least 5 occasions for no apparent reason like leaving the headlights left on.  What is worse the dealer seems incapable of fixing the car. The dealer tells us they are reflashing the computer.  Nothing works!  We would not buy another Ford Hybrid.  Ford needs to get their act together.
