It’s my understanding it has some advanced traction and stability management systems. This thing makes sense in Europe, no sense here at all. I don’t know why anyone would buy one, they’re not even the highest MPG.
Not even the highest MPG with far less practical, usable interior space and I believe they require premium gas.
The only argument in their favor is in very dense urban environments with limited parking options, but even then different a parking space setup would be required. Seems as if nose-in rather than parallel parking packs them in more densely in the same physical space.
