Summary
What does this car say about you?
The car signifies a new generation of technology that would slowly replace the current standard engine technology. And is an alternative if you dont want a smokey diesel.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Great excuse not to meet up with some friends and family as you can tell them your car is still on charge? Other then that neighbours are fascinated with the new hydrid technology.
Would you buy this car again and why?
yes- but its staying here for a while as the generation 3 is better looking then the previous models, go for the T4 or spirit. 17inch wheels and the lower side skirts makes up all the difference of the looks of the car, tint the rear windows and lower it with Eibachs would be nice!
What are you likely to buy next?
Hmmmmmmmmmm A nice GSX600 with akrapovic oval titanium race exhaust, and power commnander. ("Sorry love did you say yes I can buy a motor bike")

Easy and responsive can still keep up and harass idiots who think all hybrids must pull out of the 3rd lane for them to pass. (oops can I say that)you did ask "what's it like to drive?"
