Hello Everyone,

We just bought a new 2010 Altima Hybrid black so wanted to stop by and register here.

Thanks!

It is actually 198 hp. 40 from the electric motor and 158 from gas.

Congrats on the purchase! How do you like it? Burned a tank of gas in it yet? I'm curious as to some real-world MPG figures.

Thanks! Yup, we did burn a couple tanks. My wife drives 30 miles each way to work and she is thoroughly enjoying it. During this unusually bitter NJ winter, it gives us 34mpg. To give you a comparison, my 2007 Sonata gives 24mpg which generally is ~30 during summer. It does make you very careful while driving at lower speeds so you can get to the EV-Mode. On the highways it is a blast, driving at 80 on I-95, hit the gas and the car takes off with plenty of power left. Love the torque which the electric motor throws in.

That's the beautiful thing about electric motors, instant torque, no torque curves
reminds me of something i saw in gen chat, for those here who don't venture over there
