General comments?
I laugh every time I am in this car. Its just so funny looking. On the road this car does not handle like a small car should. It rides fairly rough, but the seats are comfortable, but they seem very flimsy. I do like the gas miles, I get about 27 to 35 miles pre-gallon. When the rear seat is folded there is a good amount of room back there. I will never bring this car on the high way, it has a very hard time keeping up with traffic like tractor trailers.
