You are right about nearly everything, except I have never really noticed the cycling. It might be doing it, but it often seems like it is just dropping out of 3 cylinder mode due to load. The nice part is that just paying attention to the hybrid assist/charge bars does a fair job of teaching you those techniques. The only downside is that it is basically an Accord V6 in the city; on the highway, though, 42 mpg on flat interstate.
