what are its selling points? High MPG? Anything else?
- Very high mpg with a small, smooth, turbocharged engine, suprisingly decent performance for such high mpg
- Very safe, even compared to cars twice its size
- Despite the appearance, quite roomy inside
- Very stable driving, given the wheels are at the extreme outer corners
- Driver's position is elevated giving a good up-high view
- Automatic/Manual sequential six-speed transmission
- You can park anywhere -- even perpendicular-park in a short parallel-parking slot. You know how parking garages have those tiny cubby-holes where nobody can park? You can park there.
- It's recyclable, good for the environment
- Colored body panels are easily switchable, don't dent easily, and when scratched don't show white underneath since the panel is that same color all the way through
It really is the ultimate commuter car.

I read about this car a couple years ago. I would buy one. Lots of GOOD sensible selling features.
