I'm not really passionate about the subject but it looks like a really unique car. Congrads.
When I get home, I'll post up my mileage log (yea, i'm that crazy). Like I said, I bought the car b/c I liked it. It wasn't crazy expensive. I walked out the door at 21k. Cars in that range get no where near the mileage I get. My best tank was 72mpg. My worst has been around 38mpg.
I like it - and yea it's a "different car". Especially in terms of looks. Everyone is always impressed at how much room it has. The front passengers can have their seat all the way back, and there's still plenty of room for the rear passengers.
It's not the fastest thing on the road, lol, but it has pretty good pickup b/c of the electric engine and the whole instantaneous torque thing...
