For a $32k car, it handles like a dream. It’s definitely down in power and torque compared to some of the competition, but beats them in price and uniqueness. Practically speaking, this car lacks storage. Both the trunk and rear seating space are rather small, and the rear seats don’t fold down.

“Hmmm … I need to get to/from work each day, and I need something inexpensive and reliable… what should I buy?”.
