auto reviwers are way way way off

I just got my 2016 ELR with performance package and ACC, this car is amazing, nice quiet smooth friendly environment ride, and the look of the car is just stoning. Every day reading the manual I discover a new exiting feature like the "Competitive Driving Mode" which is even better performing than the Sport mode, so the car has five driving modes. The professionals auto reviewers are way way way off about this car when providing negative marks on it

A car NOW well worth it

I think the car does exactly what it is supposed to. It allows road trips without having to find charging stations. Although the generator can be loud and obnoxious, it is well worth it.
