 The is a severe hesitation when you first step on the gas, such much so that if you need to move out of the way in a hurry it's probably better to jump out the car and sacrifice it. I've had some slow cars in my time, but seriously it's weight compared to it HP you would do better walking. It's not even a great commuter as is evident with it's abysmally low MPG. I forgot to mention I was actually passed by a Prius the other day; A PRIUS!!!!WTF
