Worst transmission on the planet

I love parking in the city, the car is very tiny and can park at the end of a parking area where some guy decided he would leave plenty of room to get out but not enough for someone to park! It is great in city traffic because you can sneak in where someone is trying to keep cars from in front of him. THE BAD 1-The low beam headlights are some of the weakest I have ever had. 2-The transmission is EXTREMELY SLOW to shift, fine if you are just cruising along. But try to pass a slow car by jumping between 2 cars as you floorboard the throttle, and instead of accelerating, it takes a looong hesitation and then speeds up. By that time the car behind you is on your bumper and having to slow down. 3-The car rides a bit rough (what can you expect with the short wheelbase), so do not plan any long trips in comfort. Great car for around town for the price!
