Review

I have owned this little car for several months now. It has plenty of pep and zips right along. It is fun to drive and it gets incredible gas mileage. 47 in town and 60 frwy. I fill the tank about once every 3 weeks after driving it all over, and when I pull out of the gas station after filling up for 25 bucks and the guy next to me is still filling his suv after 60, somehow I feel as if I have out smarted some folks. I also feel good that I am driving a vehicle that is considered 0 emisions! I am concerned about the planet! It's not all about the money reviewers, it's about being conscience, not wastefull! The only complaint that I have about this car is the lack of side door pockets.

Favorite Features

Review

Totally satisfied with what we intended this vehicle to be. We get the EPA 55-56 on the highway staying at or under 70 mph without the A/C on. With a/c and a heavier foot it drops to 48-49 MPG. No problems so far and have had no reported battery drain. Is great in traffic and a joy to park. The hard tires give great mileage but add noise - I'll take the trade off. This is a second car for us but gets most of the use because of the fuel issues and the around town convenience. We also use it for occasional longer excursion drives and plan to leave our other car home for road trips. Highly recommend this great vehicle.

Favorite Features

Outstanding economy. Environmentally responsible vehicle. Great exterior styling and fun to drive. An exceptionally well engineered vehicle that has been totally reliable so far.

Suggested Improvements

This is a very specialized vehicle designed to push the envelope on getting the maximum mileage. It is not designed to compete with a Lexus 400 in comfort. For what it is supposed to do, I can't think of a thing to change.
