Driving or riding in the fuel cell ix35 will not feel much different from riding or driving the gas powered model. The notable differences are positive ones, including no engine noise and only water vapor exhaust. The car can carry five passengers comfortably, and the longer range should help it become more acceptable than lower range fuel cell vehicles available today.
