I drove it home this evening, so far I have a very good impression, except it needs a taller 5th gear. The motor has plenty of torque, and there will be some good hypermiling results up to about 50mph, but above that the rpms are too high. The car seems very light and easy to move. I stopped using 1st gear, 2nd gear is low enough to start out in. It drives more like a European car than an American car. However, I am used to driving an old Toyota pickup so it might just be me.
