When I worked for a large OE, we bought one for competitive intelligence and I drove it around a pretty good amount.

At the time (3 years ago) there weren't that many around, even in LA, so I would get tons of looks, people pointing, jaws dropping, etc. I was on the freeway one sunday afternoon and a guy put his entire torso out the passenger side of an Explorer and pointed with both hands at the car and then gave me 2 thumbs up. It was crazy.

The chassis is setup nicely. Ride quality and handling are both pretty good and it's quiet and controlled when you push it. Exceptionally light feeling too, the chassis has some Lotus vibes.

The interior and interface are cool. When you pop the shifter over into manual mode all the lighting changes from blue tones to red.

It has below average straight-line performance by modern sports car standards and way below average if you take the looks into account. It's a pain in the ass to get in and out of and the way the doors open + high sill, you can't really park next to another car in the lot.

Long story short, I got tired of the attention and BS comments after a few hundred miles and since it didn't offer much besides that and the looks, I went for other cars in the fleet like the Model S or Boxster.
