It is "What could be different" and I have thought about a side stick steering for a very long time. Sitting in the Elio did remind me of a small aircraft and with only one door, a side stick would fit in. Someone mentioned "feel" of the road, you can build that in with today's electronics; I have a couple of different simulators (one for driving, one for flying) that both have feedback built in. And being that I like to tinker, I did turn the force feedback up just a little . So remember to give credit those have a very creative side; I am, and have been one of those types of people for a very long time. So yes Ty, I am on target; I exchanged an idea that would be for me, not for the masses.This is not supposed to be a "what if" thread. I thought we'd just simply list something we were actually unhappy about after sitting in the Elio rather than getting off on tangents. Sure, it'd be nice if it had 200hp, 0-60 in 3 seconds... but what I was curious about was what real thing that you could tell from just sitting in it did you NOT like or something that it really should have in order for you to be happy with it.
Foldable wings? sure... whatever. That's not the intent. I'm looking more for:
"I didn't like the seatbelt over my left shoulder" Yes, I know they've said they are GOING to change it but it is still one thing I didn't like.
"I think it should sit up higher. I thought it was too low"
"I didn't like the hood pins." (actually, I don't. I thought it'd interrupt the air flow.)
"The door sill should be lower"
Those sort of things. "Stay on target"
