FourAgreements Posted August 19, 2014 at 04:52 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 at 04:52 PM Hi all; I'm Brian, and I guess you'd say I wanted what I wanted. I live in northern Illinois, and the 2014 FFEs around here are sparse, and none of the 2015s have arrived, and no dealer around here was willing to commit to an arrival date or to take a deposit to hold one, despite agreeing on the selling price. The closest I could finally find the car I wanted (FFE Titanium, tuxedo black, fully loaded), was 1000 miles away, in Owings Mills, MD. Having the car shipped would've been easier, but I wanted to see the car in person before buying, and flying out to Baltimore and driving the car back was an excuse for an adventure, so I took it. I'm absolutely thrilled with it so far! I got a good laugh when I set the adaptive cruise control, turned on the auto-correcting version of the lane assist, and sat back and let the car drive itself (I was fully ready to intervene if I had to)...this was okay for about fifteen seconds and two lane corrections, at which time the car politely told me to return my hands to the steering wheel. :) I did what I was told, relieved that the car was smarter than me! My drive to work today cost me less than $1 in fuel, compared to the $3.50 it used to take. That projects out to be an extra $100/month in my pocket just from work commutes alone, and I am NOT unhappy about that! If I could get my workplace to give me access to an outlet while at work, it'd be even cheaper. Just wanted to introduce myself...hopefully I can hit you guys up with 47 random FFE questions and not get chased off the forum.

Eric4539 Posted August 19, 2014 at 05:26 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 at 05:26 PM Welcome Brian, and congratulations on your brand new Energi! For me, the Adaptive Cruise Control is one of the best feature of all time. I am just annoyed when the rental cars I drive forget to keep their distance from the car ahead of me... There are many knowledgable friends on this forum. Use Search for topics that you may have a question with. If there was a quota for questions I would have been chased off a long time ago! :) FourAgreements and Hybridbear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
