The touch pad is really great if you don't have pockets on running shorts or jogging shorts or jogging pants or whatever. Say you wanna go hiking but you don't want to carry a bunch of stuff with you you can lock everything in the car and use the touch pad to get back in, this is especially helpful at a beach.

the main time that the keypad is most useful is for example when you want to drive somewhere else and then go for a jog or a run, such as driving to a lake or a park and then you want to take a jog but don't want to have the key fob in your pocket while you run

@@EverydayReviews2022 Yup. I use this feature all the time, especially for river-trips. On my focus, there's a small pad in the bottom of the center console, which when you lave the key here, it'll disable the auto-unlock. Or you can leave the key anywhere and lock it using the keypad. Anti-theft still functions, so nobody is driving away without entering the code.

Hybrid braking is awesome. In my regular car before buying a 2007 Escape Hybrid, I had to replace the front brake pads after five years. After twelve years I had to replace a set of pads on the Escape, not because they wore out but because one of the pads came off the backing plate. The remaining pads were not worn out. A brake job costs hundreds of dollars plus lost time while having it done, and this is a vehicle which essentially never needs that. My brakes fell apart from age before wearing out.

I have a 17 RAV4 Hybrid, and rented a Fusion Hybrid awhile ago. The buggiest difference I have noticed was the Ford, allows you to drive in EV mode on a cold start (first thing in the morning, for example). Which is good for saving fuel, but I am curious about long term reliability on the engine. During my rental period, I was often doing 60 km/hr before I need to merge onto the freeway. So the gasoline engine needs to go from stone cold, to 60 to 100 km/hr in seconds.

Pay for 2 fuels? Just gas. No plugging in, its a very small battery and electric motors are super reliable with long lives. Look how many taxis/Uber drivers have been driving Hybrids for years and years. They choose them because they provide the lowest cost per mile and that is with maintenance factored in.
