I drove them to LAX some time ago in it, I must say, its a pretty damn good car. Credit must given where credit is due. If I was in the market for a car, those would be my choice accept for the Vdub. The little Chevy diesel would be a strong choice for me since I have a diesel truck. I really like those diesel motors.
We have one charging station here and three people driving plug in so I can't/won't go with a plug in.

Wife was driving a stick shift peecup when I met her... made her daughter learn to drive a stick shift... now go figure, she doesn't want a stick.

For a hybrid we are leaning towards C-Max (we like the hatch back/fold down seat) and Sonata (seem to have the best warranty for a hybrid).

I am still lobbying for a diesel... but as said would prefer a stick in a VW diesel... that would make it my car... commuting on the L.A. freeway is no bueno.

Whatever we get our budget is $15K, that puts us in a 2013 or older.
