Driving The Elio?

[zelio]

This brings up an interesting issue about drive-throughs because you will not be able to get close to the window at Arby's/McDonald's/Wendy's etc. and that is gonna make some happy meals less that happy times.

It is healthier if you don't eat that stuff, but if you must, it is healthier to get out and walk in to get it. :-) Z

Will sitting in the "center" , and not left of center, make passing more difficult in an Elio?

Passing is a torque issue, not seating position.

No you will adapt quickly there are a lot of vehicles where you sit in the middle. many large cement trucks are like that

OMG! I thought someone passed!

Welcome Cedartick!

Can torque help you see around the truck in front when your body is centered in the lane?

It's a cheap economy vehicle. CAN'T expect much more.
Want A KICK BUTT PASSING car get a big HP motor.

If you aren't RIGHT on the trucks rear bumper you can pull out a little and look.

Hi and welcome from Oregon, Cedartick. That is an interesting question. I think, like anything else, once you have driven a little you will get the hang of passing. Obviously passing a large vehicle on a 2 lane road will take extra care but that should be happening anyway. I hate to be followed so I tend to be the one who pulls over and allows followers to pass. If I am on a 2 lane road I want to enjoy the experience. If I am in a hurry, I take the interstate and passing with multiple lanes is not much of a problem. I suspect the same will be true with the Elio. :-) Z
