What safety equipment feature do you want to operate in snowy conditions? The normal recommendation I always heard was to not use the nannies in the snow or ice.
Why did you Choose the Hybrid?
I'm curious about why people here made the decision to go with the hybrid drive.
In my case it was NOT the mileage, I would have gone with the hybrid if it got the same, or even lower, mileage than the 1.5T.
I liked the mechanically (but not electronically) simpler drive train.
I have no experience with turbos, GDI or CVTs. There's nothing wrong with them, they are proven technologies, but I know more about induction motors and inverters than I do about those. I'm an electronics tech far more than I am a mechanic, and I am more comfortable with what I understand.
Since I wanted AWD anyway, the upcharge for the hybrid was only about $1200, hardly noticeable from $30K.
I love the smooth power delivery. I did drive the 1.5T first. When I drove the hybrid I knew I was going to buy it before I got off the dealer's lot (but didn't tell them that of course).
Since I bought during Covid, I was able to test drive by myself, a new experience for me, no sales pitches, but they weren't needed.
They weren't letting just anybody take off with a new car, but I had bought from them in the past, and was a steady service customer, so I guess they trusted me.

Don't interpret the advertised fuel tank capacity as real usable capacity. The standards bodies allow the manufacturer to include reserve, fill area and splash area in their advertised capacity. The reserve protects the fuel pump and the splash area protects the evap system. Just let the automatic pump shut off occur to protect the evap as you can be liable for any repairs caused by overfilling.
Went through this with another make which had a usable of 9,8 out of an advertised 14.5.

60k miles. $5/gallon you compute the difference between a hybrid and the car you now drive..I'm curious about why people here made the decision to go with the hybrid drive.

But the real reason was my car was 7 years old and the new one had lots of new gadgets and safety features and it was my turn. She got her hybrid 2 years later.
My current hybrid actually got less than a MPG more than my previous ... both were hybrids.
