Check out this latest article which appeared online as I was researching an up coming Flea Market in Brooklyn. Enjoy, Regina

Nice article, although the usual "we're all gonna die driving a car this small" pitch didn't impress me. Do you have any problem merging with traffic as mentioned? And finally, 40 mpg in the city? Where did that come from?

I'm not having any problems merging with traffic. I take the proper care and try not to revive too high if at all possible. I also ignore the "it's dangerously small" comments from the butt heads and article writers. I love this car and it really is a joy to drive. As far as the mpg claim goes, I'm not sure where they got that info. Regina

40 city/ 45 highway was the 2007 EPA rating.

Merging in traffic is as much a matter of skill and common sense as power.

15" tires = small? My 65 Mustang had 14" and so does my Neon.

Blind spot solution - don't ride in the blind spot. (duh)

Not a bad review over all though...kinda cute. (whoda thunkit?)
