They transposed numbers on the weight spec and came up with 1080 lbs instead of 1800.

I caught a few more, but that was the biggest one.

Wait, was that just a review by the automotive press that was actually fair? Pigs must be flying somewhere.

That was a decent review. One of the few I've seen where it appears somebody actually took the time to get used to the car and give it a fair evaluation. I still don't get why so many people think that this isn't a good car for anything but city driving? I have no issues passing the cars I need to. Maybe that's because I tend to drive slower in this car and anyone I need to pass is going really, really slow.

I drive at least 90 miles a day on relatively flat freeways and average around 65-70 mph very comfortably. And when I get where I'm going the ease of parking is awesome.
