I watch this guy's youtube channel and surprise, surprise up pops his review of the Elio, With himself behind the wheel.

ACTUALLY DRIVING AN ELIO!!!

Get some suds, popcorn and recline in a comfy easy chair because this is a fifteen minute vid of ChrisFix driving an Elio.

Let the conversations begin.

Is that only a one seater, or is there a seat in the back? I don't think I'd want one, but it looks fun to test drive...

The video shows how ChrisFix sat in the rear seat. He stated it was like sitting in the back seat of a Mustang.

Come on Dayle, you should know by now we don't have much interest in talking about the E-thingy. :rofl

..a once in a lifetime opportunity to drive an Elio...
There may be a whole lot more truth in that statement than he realizes... :D

Or, let's buy a Metro and I'll design the aerodynamics and lets get evmetro to cut it up and do the re-fabrication/bodywork and lets turn it into a "Better than an Elio" trike design.

When Mr. E says 'it gets 84 mpg" he really means the one that hasn't been built with the engine that isn't ready for production will(should) get 84 mpg. We can have a REAL vehicle that easily and actually DOES get 80+ mpg @ 60 mph.

Or evmetro can make it an electric version with is 200 hp motor that does burn outs in 4th gear and has a top speed of nearly 200 mph. :D And that ain't no Bull :shit

This guy annoyed the fuck out of me. Couldn't watch the hole thing. Everything is ridiculously positive. He sounds more like a salesman. He also said Elio contacted him to do the video.....oh yea that sounds promising. Then he said this:
"even though this is a crummy geo engine....." After that I exited the video. lol

It was cool to see someone driving it from the inside. I wish they would let an average Joe take it out for a while. They still need a ton of money and it isn't going to happen. I hope I'm wrong though.

And so the public display of desperation begins, as Elio Motors moves closer to end stage failure.

You guys did see that at the end of the video ChrisFix stated that if you wanted to contact Paul replies could be left in the comment section. The Elio team would get back to the commenters, I believe.

Anyone notice the top speed? I skimmed the video and most of it seemed like parking lot driving.

The Verge test drove the same prototype six months ago, and they mentioned that it was governed to 35mph. Elio doesn't want any bloggers going too crazy with it. :nfs
