It was very comfortable driving long distances, and had no repairs other than a rear wheel bearing. It used Prius technoloy and a Ford engine for the drive train. It would have been more popular and more widely sold but for the high price. It weighted about 4000 lbs and got an average of 39 mpg combined road and city. Gerry
