I just wanted to share this comment from our teenage daughter. She has done almost all her driving in our Leaf. I asked her recently why she does not like driving the SUV. She said "the noise from the engine scares her", hence she does not want to drive the SUV.
Since she has been driving an electric car most of the time, I found her comment quite interesting since I did not think of ICE noise being that intimidating having grown up with ICE cars. Maybe this is something that manufactures should be aware of given that this may be the start of the first generation of drivers more accustomed electric rather than ICE vehicles.
