Having recently arrived home (Hobart) from a trip to Perth I have to endorse the comments made by Miop400. The car is ideally suited to the sealed roads and has a very hard suspension when venturing onto unsealed roads.
During our trip we covered 11448 kms, and used 643 litres of fuel at an average for the trip of 5.61 L per 100lm. Our worst consumpsion was on the Nullarbor naturally as there was no hills to assist with the hybrid running. In Perth and Melbourne we were down to 4.2 L per 100Km. We have also found one has to be careful when opening the passengers door as can easially scrape on the footpath due to the car being so low.
Only needed to use the aircon on about 2 occasions as we found opening the moonroof gave us an ample supply of fresh air.
No problems with power and when running in sports mode we were able to pass the Road Trains with no effort and felt quite secure with the car travelling at higher speeds.
The Sat Nav worked well until we were approaching Melbourne on the Freeway and it decided to reset itself. We had that issue previously and assumed we had the problem fixed.
Our biggest gripe isthe fuel warning light comes on far too early. We can easily travel another 175km with the warning light on, but takes the fun out of it when you have to manually calculate the remaining fuel in the tank.
A pot of touch up paint for the mags would be welcomed as it is so easy to put a mark on them and when scraped they show up badly.
Luggage spare is less than we had with our Prius, but still managed to squeeze in 4 cartons of wine to bring home, on top of what we shipped home.
All in all we had a good trip and would be more than happy to do it again.
