Here's the rub: You absolutely must possess a deliciously adventurous scientific side in order to want to participate financially in the XL1 experience. As an everyday second car, just scratch it off the list. While we did authentically enjoy the whole novelty of the experience, in the end, we can't help but wonder how soon the novelty might wear off, the XL1 just ending up gathering dust in the garage surrounded by moving boxes

Vitsen med pluginhybriddriften är väl att man också ska kunna köra långa sträckor med bilen, något som man knappast lär göra i en bil med så dålig fjädring, ljudisolering osv. Och som ren pendlingsbil så kan man nog få mer bil för pengarna, ex en Renault ZOE.
