Default Common issues with ES300h?

Hello, I've read a few threads that indicate the engine mounts in the 300h might be more likely to fail than in other vehicles. Are there any other issues you've experienced or heard of with this vehicle? What's the likelihood of a blown head gasket, oil leaks or other issues common in Toyota hybrid models? I've owned a Prius with oil consumption issues at 140k miles and am currently awaiting parts to replace the head gasket and water pump in my wife's 165k-mile Prius V. Thanks!

I’ve been driving a 2013 for the last 8 months and have put 25k miles on it. I’m now at 99.5k and have only noticed a small amount of oil burn. No other issues other than the fact that the 2.5 engine is louder than I would like or expect.

The ES models in general with this generation have had some sunroof issues and parasitic power drains. But you don’t read about them a lot here.
