The Mirai is an interesting car, sadly, it'd cost me about twice the US price as we have no subsidies for such vehicles here:

I am glad to have ABS, it has already spared me an accident when someone took my right of way.

The only failure on mine (which has also immobilizer, airbags, power windows and power steering) by now is the rear muffler getting a bit louder

Subsidies (not for the Miral...which we don't have) have been kind of a sticky wicket in some parts of the U.S.

A study was published that concluded the average Chevrolet Volt owner in the U.S. makes about $174,000 USD per year. Some people feel that those owners shouldn't be getting a subsidy from 'the taxpayers'...many of whom make less than $174k per year.
