It has been great so far. Doing around 50mpg for each drive, which currently have been mostly shorter drives max 20 miles. I'll be interested to see the consumption over a longer drive. As posted before, the switch between electric and ICE is very smooth. My wife finds the Sat Nav really good, comes with traffic at no extra cost.
Good leg room in the rear seats, much more room than my Mazda 6, which is surprising. Boot space is OKish - good for shopping, not so sure about a family holiday - when you are used to a larger size.
The only real downside is that the car seemingly bings and bongs for everything - apart from informing the driver when they are exceeding the speed limit. It only changes the numbers in the dashboard speed limit sign from black to red, no noise at all. This is stupid as you do not look at this symbol, and an audible signal that you are speeding would be much better.
Might sound daft, but I would have hesitated to buy the car in the first place if I had known this beforehand, as it was for my wife, and she does tend to drive faster than she should. Her previous car (Mazda 2) used to shout at her - "You are exceeding the speed limit".

We've had ours for just over a year & 9k miles.
My wife has added a few scratches, but is very pleased with it.
We had an engine management light come on one morning, a couple of days before we flew off on holiday. There was an error message on the diagnostics, but cannot remember what it was. Booked in for the week after we returned, by which time it had gone out. Dealer said that there was a recall for it (along with a few others), so all was good now.
I'm still annoyed that the car does not audibly tell the driver when she is speeding.
I am interested to know on the infotainment system, with the Hybrid screen, what does the "electric motor use" section actually show. It would be useful if it showed the usage of electricity that the car has used during a journey - but I know it doesn't show this as the number jumps around all over the place.
