EcoModders will appreciate the focus on its fuel economy capability (50+ MPG all day long in Pryme's typical driving environment, with little hypermiling effort.)
It's not a fanboi rave. It's a dispassionate, non-snarky look at the vehicle from someone who carefully weighed its pros & cons.
That's more than you can say about the typical auto journo reviews the car has received.
Thumbs up!

Thanks for that!
With that said, I do practice some basic hypermiling techniques daily. I didn't in the video but I do coast as far as I can either in neutral or 5th to stop lights and signs if possible and I do attempt a little P&G where I can.
I also try to accelerate and brake slowly and short shift as well.
