Unreliable early hybrid system. Had to go to the ford dealer 3 times over the course of 2 years to swap out batteries twice and replace the electric braking system. These are also mediocre on safety, and slim on comfort. Not worth what the msrp was when new, and not worth the used market prices (even before prices shot up in 2021-22). Avoid these things, there is far better value elsewhere. Mar 23, 2022
