Which car are you using for the ECO-FRIENDLY badge?

This is the first of the 1000 mile challenges I'm attempting. I'm using the Nissan Leaf for all the F, E, and likely D Class events. Off the line, it's pretty beastly, as one would expect with a nearly linear TQ curve, however uphill and on long straights, this thing gets eaten up.
After 500 miles, I'm still not really used to the silence and still get weirded out by the differential noise exiting corners when I'm not careful.
So far, this has been a somewhat boring and rather lengthy experience and I'm not looking forward to all other 1000 mile challenges.

Wow 1k in a hybrid that sounds hard. To be honest you have to expect the speed would be an issue with these cars. The only hybrid i like so far would be the CRZ. Does it have to be a straight battery powered car like the Leaf, or could it be a hybrid? Reason im asking is because i have a CRZ tune that can pull around corners like no other.

The challenge calls for hybrid or electric. I've read of people getting it with the Prius so the CR-Z should be fine.

I don't see why the Tesla wouldn't work and that should be easier on the eyes too.

There are much more fun cars to use in the Tesla's classes. With the F, E, D classes, you're using a boringish car either way, hybrid or not.
Plus with the leaf, cr-z, volt, prius, you also get the manufacturer 1000 challenges.

Hell no, the Tesla is one the most fun A-class cars to use in the game. Gotta love instant torque with electric motors.

lol, I'll never drive 1000KM in a Hybrid, never.

It's 1600km, 1000 miles.

Got it last night.
A way into the challenge I realized there is no 1000m NISSAN challenge, so that's a bummer.
