Default rear windshield shade replaced

The shade wasn't going up or down properly, just kind of jerked along. They said it wasn't installed properly. Had to leave the car overnight. Gave me a hybrid for a loaner. POJ! If you try to keep a steady speed, it feels like you're tapping on the gas pedal while you're listening to music and giving yourself whiplash. I spoke to them about it when I brought it back thinking it was a problem with the car. "No, sir. That's how the hybrids are."

No. HS250. I was told the CT200 was a little better.

I like the idea of a hybrid but my wife won't touch one. She remembers driving the Buick Dynaflow lol I guess it's that CVT concept that turns her off to the idea. My personal problem with them is figuring out the break even point $$ since I generally don't keep a car over a couple of years.

I'm surprised you had a rear shade issue, glad it was for a reason (like improper installation) rather than "we don't know but it works now" IMO this rear shade system is the best I have seen how it is fully supported and is silent with or without windows open. Mine is always up unless I'm reversing.
