@Phaedra I thought of you when trying to pour myself into the seat! What I lack in stature at 5’8″ I make up for in belly and limbs ?
@kezo I don’t know if this angle answers the bonnet question! I don’t remember anything though.
The chap at the dealership (shout out to Dan at Vertu Toyota in Loughborough) asked for my thoughts and I told him it was very much like driving an appliance. As all electric cars seem to be.
My TV broke a few months back. It was a similar joy picking a new one. I imagine picking a new fridge would elicit the same feelings.
As an EV it seemed proficient, averaging 3.3mi/kWh according to the trip computer.
As a car, it seemed like every Toyota I’ve been in. Not much in the frills department but consistent. I expect you’d deplete the battery before complaining of back ache for example. Probably 250 miles to the tank .. that’s pretty much every car at every size it seems.
I was unable to easily find a decent tune on the stereo unfortunately so can’t comment on the quality there.
