yea it's infamous for that problem. I've heard lot of Ford Escape Hybrid performing terrible in winter. Any electronic system doesn't do too well in cold weather so I wouldn't put in money on hybrid cars yet UNLESS you live in states like Florida, California, or south. As for all-around, all-season car, you're better off buying pre-certified honda car.... it has mileage of like 40 mpg for V4 car.
