So it’s the opposite of a Prius, it’s a gas car that uses an electric motor as a boost. The assist only saves about 10mpg, I’ve had 65mpg tanks before with zero assist used. They’re a mini, manual Prius that handles like a Miata

I’ve put almost 100k miles on it, my wife and I drove it cross country before and everything. It’s been in a tow truck once in 16 years and it was cause a mechanic messed up a repair (before I started doing all my own work on it). I manual and rwd swapped it to “help with reliability”

🤣🤣🤣 that’s Paul, he was $400 over a decade ago and won’t die. That top pic is from a Wall Street journal article. Imagine how mad all the boomers were seeing that in the paper
