Pulling out onto local roads in Bremerton, I noticed it felt controlled and confident rather than bulky or overwhelming. From the driver’s seat, visibility was excellent, and the elevated seating position made it easy for me to see traffic patterns and surroundings, which felt especially helpful in busier areas around Silverdale and Port Orchard.
