I cannot believe how quiet they are, that has to be hard to get use to driving... is there any change in sound when accelerating? I think the one thing I would miss is the rumble of the muffler.... the roar of the engine... it's the teenage gear head in me  |
You get to dislike that engine sound after awhile. This from a guy who had a Corvette with lake pipes.
As for the brakes, it is called one foot driving. As you let off the "gas" pedal, the regenerative braking kicks in and you glide to a stop where the car just holds. Think of it like downshifting to a complete stop. If you need the brakes, they are still there, but you hardly ever use them. So they last forever.
