The hybrid system doesn't work as well in the winter because the engine must stay warm. It will run until it hits 140F and will kick back on if it drops below 120F regardless of your speed. See if your mileage improves as the weather warms up. The navigation system does use 6 CDs. The maps are broken into regions. If you need to travel a great distance, say NYC to Chicago, then you will need multiple CDs and will have to compute multiple routes. The navigation in the '06 and '07 is a POS.

Replying to: wvujeb (Mar 26, 2007 8:30 am) You can say that again! Still, a POS is better than no navigation at all. Unfortunately, with the '08 switching to DVD navigation, I'd be surprised if we ever see an upgrade in the CD navigation us '07 and earlier owners have.
