I assume that is telling you that it's not going to slow down when you run up behind someone, like most adaptive cruise controls. At least, that's what it sounds like to me.

Hard to hold a constant speed with the lack of a tach/speedo in front of you and no noise/vibration from a gas engine to be in tune with.

Interesting, I'd never thought of that, but it makes sense. I know that I've been driving my boxster with the windows open or top down and music up, so I couldn't really hear the engine noise, and that made it hard to know when to shift without looking at the tach.

Lousy view out the back. Tiny slit made the rear view mirror all but useless.

I imagine there's a way to change the big screen to a rear view camera view, although that might be a pain if the screen was used for other things as well.

Overall it's a livable vehicle but any interest in owning one has pretty much faded for me. The torque is an absolute blast but at the same time it's not really a rewarding car to drive. I think if i want to save $$ on gas i'd check out a hybrid of some sort.

Interesting. I have been curious about the new electric vehicles, but not really to purchase. Renting one sounds like the way to go. Kind of like going to Cali for vacation, but not wanting to live there.

Thanks for the info.
