So, let me get this straight. This car gets low fuel mileage, performs poorly and its only advantage is ease of parking in a dense urban area. However, one would be hard pressed to find a dense urban area where a car is necessary, so why would any rational person buy one? Especially when we have maybe twenty years to reduce our emissions in this country by 80-90% or face a very high probability of irreversible climate change tipping points being passed, purchasing a steel wheelchair seems positively insane.
If you want to look cute, get fit by getting out of the fossil-fool powered wheelchair mindset and move your hindquarters with your own muscle power. There really is no such thing as a sustainable car.
