Excellent car!
I've seen plenty of my friends use this car before I decided to give it a try. I've even done test drives. Just like the description says, it goes over bumps easy and turns right on time. Having blinkers also excited me, it's so realistic. What excited me most was how customizable the car was. I even get to make my own mod! x3 I love it
Sweet little car
Nicely detailed stylish low prim and lag car that is a joy to drive. It looks great on the road, performs well, and is GTFO ready! One of the best SL rides out there with nice options.
One of the best cars I've ever driven in SL
On second thought, it might be THE best car I've ever driven in SL. It's perfect for driving almost everywhere; crowded city sim, empty country roads, twisting single sim tracks, and even around parking lots. And it's mod! You can do ANYthing you want with it! Thanks for an awesome product that's so fun to drive and work with :)
One of the Best Cars to Drive
This car is made really well the sound gives you exactly the right feeling the drive Style is pretty well made and the Remote Steering is perfect for parking. Overall its a great car. Love it.
Amazing, the epitome of SL driving, but with a very tiny LOD issue
It drives really well just like any GEMC car, and the extra features such as the adjustable turning ratio and other handling properties, and the cruise control feature, make it perfect in those regards / in terms of its usability.
However, with the extra low land impact count it does come with some LOD issue from slightly far away. While most of the low land impact is attributable to the amazing optimization of the model (the use of normal and specular maps to accentuate the car's lines and features instead of modeling them on 3D, which works really well), it does still have a tiny issue in that regard. I don't think I or many other buyers of the car would mind if the land impact count increases slightly but with a better LOD engineering. (or put on a high LOD version)
Looks great, drives great. Some small issues with charger, resizing, camera, physics
The vehicle looks and drives great, but it is a bit big. It is very similar to my RL car. :P
There's no built in resize functionality - but you can edit the size. However if you do this the wheels and tablet will get out of position when you enter the car. Note that to make it smaller, the front plate is currently set to size 0.01 so you first have to mod that. Would be nice if it had a built in resize on the HUD as I would like to make it about 10% - 15% smaller.
Wall charger does not work. Keeps coming back with:
[19:24] VOLTA WALL CHARGER: ERROR: Vehicle was moved or deleted. Do not start, move, or delete your vehicle during charging operation.
- This despite a car placed in park and lined up right next to the charger with the charger facing the port. The 'standing charger' in the same spot works.
Camera:
- The 'interior' camera looks downward and shows mostly the dash, but then due to angle only a very short distance of the road ahead, making it nearly useless for driving.
- The front and follow cameras also have downward angles meaing you only get a short view of the road ahead and cannot really see where you are going.
These may be popular camera views, but they are difficult, and there is no camera option in the customizing menus to change or configure a different camera.
Physics:
- The physics plane is flat and near the ground, with no curve on the front or back. These means the vehicle can get stuck on even minro bumps. If you fall off the road on many linden roads you will be stuck going into edit mode to get yourself back. Having the bottom 'physics plate' use a curve on the front or back would have fixed this.
There's no inworld demo, but I've left my car at:

Public access. I've put it in a rezzer so if you drive one away a few minutes later a new one will be in my driveway.
