It is small, yet safe.  It does have a quirky look (not as quirky as my 1975 Pacer though). Its gas mileage is high at approximately 40 mpg.

I can see this as a great car for any DINK (Double Income No Kids) who have any environmental concerns.  It makes a statement, it&#8217;s sporty, and your nieces and nephews can&#8217;t go with you because it only has two seats. And anyone can parallel park this since it is so short and narrow at less than 9 feet long and about 5 feet wide.<\/p>\n<p>And there are already 750,000 out there in Europe and elsewhere.
