...but from everything I hear about them they're more of a novelty car than a practical people-mover. Yeah, you'll get people to turn heads but I hear the 3-cylinder engine is severely underpowered, noisy, and does not return the sort of gas mileage you'd expect from such a small car. Yes, they have proven the passenger "cell" is quite durable but there's still no meat between you and other cars to act as a crumple zone, and airbags only do so much. As an around the town weekend car or something it could be fun, but the cost is inhibitive.
