Noel:

You already gave it a good shot by having sat in one at the dealership. I suggest you take one for a drive and see if that is good for you in terms of driving dynamics and comfort.

For many of us, the HCH-II is a super car in that it shares with the Prius II the distinct honor of being one of two cleanest, and most fuel efficient vehicles on the market today. Don't forget safe too.

For myself, I could not settle for a single one and got two instead (2006 & 2007). You find many folks here that have a similar story. If that does not tell you something... then I fear very few other things will.

Cheers;
