About this car

Quiet hybrid hatchback that lives in Silverlake and handles canyon roads better than it has any right to. Averages 41 MPG on the highway, so a weekend up the coast costs about a tank and a half.

Fresh tires as of February, phone mount on the vent, and a small cooler in the trunk you're welcome to use. Please return it at roughly the fuel level you found it.

Desmond left the car spotless and texted the parking level before I landed. Picked it up in under four minutes, which never happens.

Drove it 380 miles round trip and filled up twice. Seats are firmer than I expected but the mileage more than made up for it.
