Should be fairly swift. One of my family members has a 2020 Honda Insight.
I fear this is the driving function I will miss the most, merging onto the freeway and/or passing some slow poke. I love the 60 to 80 acceleration I currently have.
Might be about right. I think with Toyota hybrids they are limited on the speed you are driving. I think same for insight. The insight when the battery is charged you are rolling around town up to 35 mph on the battery.

I also think that for us to get peak gas milage with the hybrid we need to break them in for quite sometime.
Cause I remember my family member complaining about the Insight getting "mediocre" 48 mpg at purchase. Now he is boasting about "fantastic" 56 mpg... Those hybrid people I hope I won't turn into one of them with the hybrid Mav
Very cool. If she averages 40mpg I’ve already calculated I’ll only have to get gas 4-5 times per year. Hahahahahaha.Might be about right.

Wow that's crazy. I thought I don't drive much.
That’s not terrible. I know a guy I work with that drives an F150, he’s filling up once every 6 days. I’d go crazy with that.
That's crazy. That's just a car payment on the Mav to spend on gas alone granting you don't put money down and don't qualify for incentives... I just can't fathom some people having a high car payment, high gas expense and insurance. You roll 3 together and it's more than some mortgages.
I was behind one at a stop light today and they stepped on it when the light turned green. It was much faster from a dead stop than I thought it would be.
Former super-commuter here (50 miles one way). I liked to fill up at about half a tank, so I'd stop at a gas station every other day.
This is one of my biggest concerns about the Mav hybrid. The Rav4 hybrid is awd with 214 hp. When I test drove it, I was really impressed with the hp. I doubt the Mav will feel like the rav 4 hybrid, as there's a 23 hp difference. Now, if it does, it would be awesome. I don't know what the escape hybrid feels like, but there are none around here to test drive. My concern is that the Mav hybrid only has 191 hp, and the escape hybrid has 200 hp. The reviews of the hp on the escape hybrid are not that great. Many basically say it's sluggish. Anyway, I'm hoping for the best. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
I had a 2004 Escape with the 1.6l EB. Massive 173 herspers and 184 ratchet power.....It was anything but sluggish. @3600lbs it is right in line with the Mav. It was not speed demon by any means. That being said, I never wanted more out of it in town or the interstate. It was a family car. It passed easily and got up to speed well. Not one time did I complain about the power.
