My wife and I did the whole jag experience thing over the weekend (in San Mateo CA)
We both got a tiny test drive the ipace and did the smart cone course. The smart cone course is like an AutoX but with a randomly generated course, and the object isnt nesc speed, but also "accuracy" between the cones (meaning you get penalized for trying to apex corners)
Anyway, the ipace feels great. The acceleration was pretty awesome, def gives you that ev grin, but nothing too crazy IMO. Def faster than most things on the road, but you aint gonna bring it to the strip every weekend.
The interior was very nice in my opinion, and the HUD was a cool touch. On the way home, I noticed that the event organizers didnt use the space ship fake engine noise. I drive an ev all the time, so the lack of noise didnt dawn on me until much later.
The regen was awesome, 1 pedal driving is easy to do with this car...it kinda-sorta reminded me of a manual transmission car in first gear when you lift off the throttle.
Seats felt nice and supportive...I never slid around the seat when cornering hard. (the test drive car had the racing/bucket seats and my smart cone car has more 'normal' seats) In fact, I didnt think about nothing but just driving, the ipace felt great as a driver.
The car (yeah, i said car) is small on the inside from what you would expect on the outside, but not as small as I was lead to believe...but I would have trouble calling this an SUV or even a CUV. It looks like a big car IMO. There is space for 2 car seats in the rear, but not 3. And with 2 carseats, you prob wouldn't be able to have a middle passenger.
Other than that, the event was great, the car was great, and a lot of people will want one of these. I wanted one before, and I really want one now. My wife seemed to like it much more than the model S we test drove a while back. She kept remarking how the interior felt like it was for a car of the price and how the model S felt "cheap" on the inside in comparison.
With that said, my wife was disappointed with the interior space, but like the car over all, while my opinion of the car was already positive, but it was even more so after driving it.
some facts about me to give some perspective of my impression:
1) I daily a rav4EV
2) my other cars are japanese imports...both are highly modified (i rebuilt the engines in both, added turbo chargers, after market suspension, an LSD etc etc etc...i do all my own wrenching) i say this to give an idea on my opinion performance.
3) i used to be an autoX nut...but not so much anymore, i used to run in the STS class. once i went turbo, i stopped autoX-ing
4) I'm 6'7 and Im all legs, so driving comfort is a big deal to me
