It weighs much heavier (500kg) than a non hybrid, and isn't any better on fuel and if anything its worse. Oh they break down all the time too
I was so hopeful it would be something as good as Toyota's petrol hybrid, but its actually embarrassingly bad.
You'd have to wonder how something like that even got signed off on.

They have some sketchy gearbox as well, where as the non hybrid model has a slushbox Allison job that actually works.
