Detailed review: |
I commute 60 miles for work and have done so for the last six months in this wonderful little car. No, it's not perfect - but considering I am 6ft2, 260 pounds and drive about 300 miles a week in it I, and the car, are in remarkably good shape! Main concerns, the shift from 1st-2nd is hardly smooth and you have to hit it just right to avoid a nasty little crunch. OK, so it's a bit noisy but it's an $8,000 baby car, just what do people expect? Other than that - wonderful driver's seat, 35.5mpg, superb front leg and head room, very cute looks, quite nippy really for a 1.5...just don't expect it to enjoy speeds over ~65mph. |
