It’s cute. It might be fun to drive around, but I would not feel safe driving 60 mph with it on the highway wedged between to big rigs. One little mistake, and that could be it, not like in a large car. More and more car companies are also producing a hybrid model for the enviros. I imagine companies will continue to make that switch, but it’s too costly for the average person to buy one right now.
They are fun, and you don't get run over on the Autobahn either. You actually sit pretty high so you don't get the feeling of being surrounded that you'd get even in an average compact car.
