(27,121 posts)If I didn't have a highway commute, it would be tempting.

(17,340 posts)Especially if it's (yuck) automatic. Wouldn't mind seeing it with the Abarth set-up. Then it would be worth driving.
We've seen the 500 all over France and England this summer. Great for city driving, but I'm not fond of them on the highway.

(1,896 posts)Maybe if I lived in Phoenix, or LA, or Valencia, I'd think about the Jolly/Spiaggina. But even then, I'm just not sure how practical it is without even much of a windshield.

I ended up getting a Beetle Turbo.
Now - that car? In Italy my husband found a pink one with the wicker basket seats in good condition. That's my car to knock around Acri in - and it's a real rip doozy bringing it back to life!
I drive I-78 and I 95 and 287 every day - that car is not good for that commute.

(10,885 posts)Wouldn't drive it if it were given to me, and wouldn't allow a loved family member to do so either.

(17,340 posts)I wouldn't do it, but there are lots of folks happy to drive them.

(34,111 posts)so no. I had a Smart Car. I loved the hell out of that thing. It was wonderful to drive except...the gravel beat the hell out of it.

(9,666 posts)from my first, an Austin America to a Honda Fit. Quick handling, good brakes (usually), easy to park, good on gas but not the best place to be in a crash.
This one though? Nah. It's a little to cartoonishly cute for me. That back area looks good for a few cases of beer and lots of ice though. Maybe even give the dog a bath back there too.
