Welcome. In my personal opinion, I was drawn to the unique style originally. Then there's the decent cost and good features that came with that cost, excellent mileage, and "wow" effect. Of course there are negatives to anything. It probably won't handle well in upstate NY snow, no cruise control (at least in the '08), you can only drive one passenger (possibly a pro), light weight makes for more noticeable wind effects. But the pros far outweighed the cons in my case. I wanted one of these cars since I first saw them in Europe ten years ago, and I'm thrilled I finally got one!
