It's better to choose the modes yourself (electric/internal-combustion) than to let the car decide.
Plenty of storage, but small.
Good handling, reasonable fuel consumption off the highway, but penalizing on the highway.
Lots of annoying "driver-assistance" features, fortunately deactivatable, but you have to do it at every start.
