for what it's worth, i test drove one when they first came out, and it was pretty fun to drive. you really feel like you're in a cockpit. the speedometer would take a little to get used to; at 0mph the needle points straight down. i test drove the e-shift version with the buttons on the steering wheel and that was pretty cool. it's got lights that show you what gear you're in. my only complaint was that when you took your foot off the gas, it felt like it had way too much engine braking--i think it was just the high compression of the engine, but something else to get used to.
