THis car is the coolest looking car I've ever owned with the worst powertrain I've ever experienced. It has a VERY DANGEROUS 1.5 second delay between pressing the gas pedal and actually engaging the wheels. It's as if the transmission is constantly deciding what it's going to do each time you add moderate pressure to the gas pedal. Countless times, I have tried to pull out into fast moving traffic or turn left with oncoming traffic, and the call essentially loses all power when I hit the gas for 1.5 seconds before it moves. This places me in the line of oncoming traffic and then not able to move until the transmission makes up it's stupid mind! They really need to recall this powertrain. I was so excited to get this car, but I just hate driving it, and I can't sell it because car prices are through the roof to get a different car, so I will be stuck with this beautiful POS for quite a few years. So frustrating and disappointing. And if you even think of using "eco mode" prepare to be passed by old ladies with walkers who accelerate faster.
