They sure are quiet. Have test drove a few here at work. The suspension is awesome also.

How does the engine noise compare to the electric models. That's gonna be a huge selling point is the noise reduction.

One of the guys I play golf with on the weekend ordered one, however he had to have surgery on his arm and I don't know if it has been delivered yet. I am waiting with baited breath to get a good look at this thing and a chance to take it for a spin and compare rides with my 2013 drive. Will post everything I learn when I do.

Big changes are the super quiet engine compartment, rear independent suspension for smooth ride, USB ports for charging phones etc. also huge increase in fuel mileage

I would think the governor and clutch would be the same.

we are supposed to get our first ones in at the dealership I work in pretty soon. I was curious just how quiet they could get the engine and i also heard about the independent suspension.

also what is really cool is the body is separated into three parts so if a section gets damaged, you just remove that particular section. no more removing roof arms and stuff
