    I have had my PiP for almost 10 days now and I absolutely love it. I find reasons to drive it! However, yesterday I decided that I needed to drive my 1998 Dodge Caravan as it had been sitting for over a week. I get into the caravan and I press the gas pedal and it surges forward! I thought "wow what was that". I drive it down to the stop sign and the same thing happens, I press the gas and it surges forward?? It finally dawned on me (duh) the I was already accustom to driving the PiP in eco-mode and as such you need to push on the "gas" significantly more than you do in a traditional vehicle. So I was suffering from whiplash because I've already gotten use to driving the Pip in Eco! Very interesting. Love my lil PiP.
