A five star side rating is hard to get

I think I would have to have flashing lights all over it. Visibility would be as bad as for a motorcycle. Some drivers won’t seei. Some won’t want to see it. Some will seeit but think it has no right to be on the street and will run over it.

33/41 mpg? Shoot, I use to get 47-50 mpg in my Geo Metro back in the mid 90’s.

For several years I drove an I-Mark that seated 4, drove 80 on the highway all day and got 37 mpg highway and about 31 in town.

IIRC, Honda CRXs would get about 50 highway.

I can’t wait to see what teenage tuners do with this car. There’s room for two people and two subwoofers.

I had a Honda CRX and it did get over 50 mpg. I never felt quite safe on the highway, with it, though.

The car got a 5-star side impact rating... and the headlines scream that the car’s unsafe?!?!?!?
(shaking head)
I guess that “safety doesn’t sell” newspapers?!?!?

There are videos on Youtube and streetfire.net where some kid put a Turbocharger on a 1300cc Hayabusa motorcycle engine and installed it into the car. Something like 450 horsepower. The thing is crazy quick.

I’ll bet you didn’t! A stylin’ casket with a steering wheel.
Pretty fast 0-60 though, close to an MR2.

Saw one on the road just the other day! Wondered what it was because I could use something like that to pull behind my little Minnie Winnie. Think I’ll look into them. ... Price?

I was in Italy last June, and saw these all over.
Your chances are better there, since more people have them.
Here, if you get into a collision, it's more likely with a F150 or Buick, and you're toast in a tin can.

THere was more than one version of that car. I think they had the extra fuel efficient version, called the HF, and a high performance version, called the Si, and a standard version. I don’t know what the standard version was called.
