It gives me the power to choose to be ultra-efficient and drive "frugally" with a light foot and other hypermiling techniques or to just drive and still have a lighter carbon footprint than ever before. I ma in control.
I just change the oil every 10,000 miles and have no other maintenance concerns. Brake pads will NEVER have to be replaced and everything else is so well engineered.
The radio sounds so much better and I can have a conversation with the other passengers in the car with me.
Quiet, efficient, smooth, maintenance-free. I love it!
