Congrats Moon... that looks really good. I would have been equally happy with a color similar to what you got had I gotten a choice but they only had one hybrid in stock when I went. I'm also real happy with the color I ended up with... they call it a Rapid Red Metallic ... I'd call it a maroon slightly on the red side personally... LOL.

Today was my 5th day with mine and of course I'm still very happy with it, especially with getting the hybrid option. I've put almost 250 miles on mine and it's estimating I'll need to refill in just over 350 more miles. I'm hoping to extend that range some since that's been mostly highway driving ( 37 mpg estimated ) and mine is rated better for city driving ( 44 mpg est. ).

Ooooh... I should add also that I'm really liking my stereo. In particular, the option to put my music library on a USB stick instead of needing the radio ( AM/FM/SAT ). Moon, if you have a digital music library you may want to check into if yours also has that option ( I suspect it will ). In my old 2009 Escape, I could only transfer directly from a CD so I only had about 1500+ songs... being able to use digital music ( ie MP3's ), I've now got my full library available which now exceeds 2600 songs.

Thanks, LOL if I had a choice I think I would have went with the red but this is the color they had in my price range

As far as the stereo I have a an iPod touch with 256 GB ( I think its the biggest one they offered at the time of purchase it has at least 256GB) so that has all my music with room to spare. I USB it into the "infotainment" system and good to go can control it from the cars touch screen.

I'm getting a receiver hitch attached to it so I can put a bike rack on it

Mine has a tow package available and I assume I could add it later ... I just don't know what I'd pull at the moment. I don't have a jet ski any longer ( and I'm unlikely to get another considering my age :D ). I could add a wheelchair mount for when I take the ex-GF to her doctor appointments, but it's not that hard to toss it in the back either and would probably be just about as much work either way.
