My father has a jasper pearl hybrid,had it since june of 06.I have driven it on numerous occasions and it is a fun car to drive just get out on the highway and give her it just keeps pulling to well above the legal speed limits,it corners not bad, brakes decent.It is a very well rounded car that I don't mind driving when I can.I have a 2000 camaro SS and a 2000 gmc sierra z71 so fuel mileage is not my top priority.
