Default Re: What I have learned so far.
What I have learned so far:
  • This car looks cool (as much as a 4 door family sedan can).
  • This car sounds cool (in all modes). I love coming to a stop beside another car, the turbine like whine of the regenerative braking, followed by complete silence. Even accelerating with the ICE on you can still here the whine of the generator and/or electric motor (not sure which). Windy and hot days bug me as I can't leave the windows down to hear.
  • This car has cool toys (I won't list them, you know what they are).
  • It is a rebirth of the experience of driving. To steal a phrase from the Disney movie "Cars". It's not about making great time, it's about having a great time.
It's with some sadness that I realize that all this will become ordinary with the passage of time.

Two climate control systems, one inside and the other at the tailpipe.
