    I would call it a good review.


    But the driver didn't get epa mileage and had big complaints about optional technology.


    Bottom line is don't pay for the lane monitoring, it doesn't work well, don't buy it. Radar cruise control seems to work well according to reports and is optional, but it doesn't appear to work as a collision warning system. Leave off the CWS. If you want these things, I don't know if they work well on the prius, but you need to buy the 5 trim. Or you need to buy a Lexus or Mercedes the only other makes with systems like this. Check it out.

    The c-max and likely fusion needs the driver to work at it for the best milage. There is a learning curve on sync.

    I was going to post this w/the title of the article "A Hybrid Done Right, but Not Without Glitches", but luckily, a search for Fusion turned up this thread.

    Hmmm.... hope the reviewer's car is a one-off otherwise we'll start hearing about it a lot more and it'll further damage Ford's rep (which hasn't been very good with respect to MyFord Touch).
