I think. There are others, VW maybe.

I think they are considerably cheaper than a Prius, but, that may be due to the Prius' availability, or lack thereof.

As long as you're sure.

What mileage does the European Prius get, though? Laden or Unladen.

Apples and Oranges.

It's a very small car that has the dubious honor to be call a "yogurt pot" in French. It's a special category that regroup small cars. Usually, those not requiring a licence to drive. The FIAT 500 does require one.

Of course, "yogurt pot" is a polite way to put it. Personally I much prefer to call them "bus suppositories".

Other than that, it's a very nice city car: good mileage, enough space to get 2 or 3 children to school, small enough to park nearly everywhere and very manoeuverable.

Not a good car for long distance travel: small trunk(boot), not very powerful engine.

'Bus suppository.' I like that.

Making my way home last night through the increasing freezing rain I saw a guy driving a smart car. Man those are tiny. Here I am in a little bug with a canvas roof and I felt safer than I would have felt driving that tiny thing. Cute, though.

HungLikeJesus · 01-21-2012, 01:52 PM

Are you more concerned about the length or the diameter?

Sat in one the other day, my head sticks through the sunroof by about 2 or 3 inches. Not a lot of room inside. By comparison, the Smart fortwo has plenty of room (well a finger or two) between my head and the inside of the roof. If I have to slouch to drive it, I'd rather walk, thanks.

Cute as hell, though.
