Test Drive-
Chad drove the car a total of 50 – 75 miles on 5 or more occasions, and it has always started right up and immediately runs smoothly. As you can imagine the car is very quiet, and smooth, but yet powerful if you need it. The steering is very precise, and firm, but extremely smooth feeling. The adjustable seats allow you to tailor it to one of the most comfortable settings. The car up shifts, and down shifts under normal driving, and is very smooth. Over all very smooth but one occasion on an entrance ramp I did have the opportunity to put it to the floor, and its just hard to explain the feeling that the car gives you of acceleration. The car stops very quickly and smoothly without any pulsation or pulling. It just an amazingly fun, but enjoyable car to drive. I cant say enough about it never skips a beat, and does what you ask. Its amazing how smoothly, and quickly it pulls.
