Its actually a bit strange to drive with...the nature of the system is that while most times when accelerating you have the extra power, sometimes you don't, and there is a noticible difference as the car feels a little "off colour". Plus you get a lot of engine braking (or actually alternator braking) such that often you find yourself not having to use the brakes as much as other cars around you.....Maybe thats why they call it Brake energy recovery.
