All of these reviews, are based on drivers who review all cars, and drive them like sports cars. None of the reviews are going to be overly positive for any hybrid. They will all say that they got below the EPA mpg because they're flooring the gas at every oppurtunity.
The one time i've floored it in my I2, it was pretty throaty and loud. Who cares? I'm not going to drive it like that hardly ever. It's not practical, and it's not part of "everyday" driving.
The reviewers are pushing the cars to their speed and handling performance limits. Not they're real-world or hypermiling limits.
