With wheels that small one good sized pot hole is going to remove your entire suspension. Of course that all depends on how fast you are going, and considering that it red-lines at 60mph the answer is probably not very fast.

Also it only gets 66 mpg highway, and you can't drive it on one because it can't go fast enough. So you are stuck with 55mpg on side streets. Mercedes-Benz E-Class Diesel will get you 45 highway with a lot more car around you. And nobody is going to laugh at you for driving a clown car.

Dear GonzoGOP,

“Mercedes-Benz E-Class Diesel will get you 45 highway with a lot more car around you.”

Not quite. It's rated for 24 mpg city, 34 highway. It'll probably exceed 34 mpg on the highway on long drives, but I don't think it'll get 45 mpg.

I have a 2005 E-Class CDI diesel, rated for about 33 mpg or 34 mpg on the highway. On a long trip with no interruptions, slow-downs, etc., I get as much as 38 mpg.

Mixed highway/city/sidestreet driving, I get around 30 mpg.

But it is a darned sight nicer to drive, I think, than a Tata.

The Tata Nano is to give folks like this an affordable, better option.

It's a great idea!
