yes i have a rental car, mine wasn't back so they gave me a prius. After driving it, my reaction is who takes a test drive and wants one of these things. they are aweful

I wouldn't expect it any other way. It's no boosted K20 or RB20DETT. It's a freaking electric car !

So Jeremy Clarkson's review of it on Top Gear was correct? :chuckle

I would love to get one as a rental. Good way to try it out without needing to buy one. Lots of these at rental companies in California.

there is a way to do that for free... what's it called again? oh ya, a test drive. although you may not be able to drive one now that toyota has had to suspend selling 8 of its models due to quality problems.

The only hybrid I would consider is the CRZ. Nice small 2 seater. Not a big heavy family hauler.
