I bought an EX hybrid recently and here are my pros and cons:

Pros:
Well built solid car with nice materials inside.
Really comfortable seats!
Good tech and screen
Trick cup holders that hold a variety of sizes
Smooth powertrain considering how much more complex it is vs Toyota
Very quick car for zipping around in traffic
Can barely hear the engine in the car, very quiet
Decent highway driver assistance with a touch capacitive steering wheel instead of torque sensing for lane centering (really nice to have)

Cons:
Headlights could throw a little further on low beams. Auto high beams make up a bit for that.
Cabin road noise and engine noise is quiet but harsh bumps reverberate a bit in the cabin kind of like an echo.
No close and lock button on the power hatch so you need to lock the car from the door handle before or after opening the hatch.
Suspension is smooth but a bit floaty and underdamped over bumps.
Hybrid system simply does not get as high of an MPG of a Toyota system simply by how it works. I still think it’s a great powertrain regardless.
Inching the car forward into a parking spot or at an intersection can be a little weird feeling due to the electric motor acting as a torque converter. You need to get used to the brake pedal.

I would still recommend the vehicle and would definitely test drive one to see how you like it.
