"Economical micro-machine"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I was borrowing this car while my own Kia Rio was having and accident repair.

Overtaking on the highway is not an option.

At 6'3", I felt like an origami ogre stuffed into the claustrophobic confines of an avant garde tin can. Strictly a vehicle for those under 5'10".

Luggage space? What luggage space?

Noisy when pushed.

General comments?

Outstanding fuel economy.

Handling is fun and involving, unassisted steering a little rubbery.

The only thing easier to park would be a motorcycle.

I'm 6 foot 5 and it took me a lot of seat adjustment, but I am comfortable. I do find I have to duck down to see the speedometer above 40 mph (64 km/h) however I can do this safely and simply rely on adjusting the throttle according to the gradient of the road surface once I have the car up to speed.
