Just went for a ride in a Fisker Karma

[blue2000s]

Impressions:

The Good:
-Lots of Torque, I stepped back into my WRX and it felt limp for the first time
-No body roll - flat flat flat through corners
-Beautiful Exterior - The curves and stance are even better than in pictures. This is the way cars should be styled. Absolutely gorgeous.
-Beautiful Interior - The demo model is totally covered in blue and tan alcantara. Seats, dashboard, doors, headliner, everything.
-Did I mention how beautiful it is?

The not so good:
-Has a constant whine from an inverter
-Also makes a constant white noise to warn pedestrians
-It's steering is pretty numb
-It is HUGE
-It feels huge from the inside, looking over the very large hood. Kinda reminiscent of a corvette
-It doesn't mask it's weight from the driver very well, even though body motions are well controlled, the heft of the car is noticeable (5300 pounds!)
-Turbo whine when it's running
-Some engine noise when the turbo's not running
-Everyone, I mean everyone, comes over and looks at it
-Laughable trunk space. I mean ridiculous for 4 people. It's about the size of the Boxster's trunk (just the back one), not exaggerating.

So it's obviously not a normal car. It drives kinda like a huge golf cart. I hate to say it because it's so obvious, but an electric car drives a certain way, and this one is obviously electric. It's was cool, and different, but I wouldn't buy one.
