Yes. It performed as well as any other car small car I've driven. I took it over the mountain highway to Santa Cruz, and it kept up with the traffic going 65 up the mountain with two adults and two kids. It has an automatic transmission, and I'm used to a stick shift. It kept downshifting when I wouldn't have chosen to do that, but that always happens to me when I'm driving a rental I'm not familiar with.

I was wondering the same thing, but my brother said that it was less of a problem than you might think. When a regular car gets in an accident, the gas tank can rupture and then you have puddles of flammable gasoline lying around. If this tank (or more likely the gas lines because the tank is very tough) get ruptured, the natural gas blows away in the wind, and the fire danger dissipates.
Edit: the warning label says not to put it in an oven to dry the paint, so there is clearly a danger with heat. Fires would be bad.
