Love it so far. Only a few things I need to get used to - 1) It seems like the 1st time the engine starts & stops it's quite loud. Not sure if this is normal. 2) It takes a very sensitive gas-pedal foot to find that 'sweet spot' where there's no arrows, and sometimes it seems like it goes right from green to yellow & vice versa. I also have to get used to pushing in the brake all the way at a stoplight so that the yellow arrows go away. 3) Sometimes in stop-and-go traffic, especially if its on an incline, it seems like the engine could go on & off 10+ times per minute. I hope this isn't too bad for it. In slower traffic I can try to keep it on electric only, but certain times it's impossible.
Sometimes I wonder how 'tough' the Prius gas motor is....with the freq start/stop (like 10 times/minute) like you describe. The powertrain software maybe smart, but the motor is still mechanical-driven.
