Those who have come here to make the point that a person would be crazy to drive one of these at highway speeds are right. I don’t see that as the market for these vehicles though.
I don’t see a problem with driving one around town. I wouldn’t mind having one for short trips around town. It wouldn’t be my primary vehicle though.
You see them here in the Toronto area but they are not selling like hotcakes. The price alone puts them in the category of many small and compact cars and you would get so much more for your money if you got a corolla or civic.
It isn't exactly an Autobahn burner, but I felt comfortable driving it at speed on the Autobahn, about 80 mph. That's a bit slower than what I was used to, but it wasn't as irritating as I thought it would be.
