This car is fantastic for summer activities and even winter activities. It runs great and purrs like a kitten. It gets great gas mileage and its very easy to maintain. This is the best car to drive! Manual is so much fun.

Pros: drives great
Cons: nothing

Just precious, and relatively manuerable....but scary on hills (little horsepower), windy streets, and around any large cars. This little thing wouldn't stand a ice cube's chance in helll against a hummer...

Pros: manueverability, adorable appearance, size
Cons: Lacks strength and horsepower

Only hybrids get better fuel economy, but this will run biodiesel.  Handles like an Audi TT, because it is built on the same platform.  Never have to tune up, because there are no spark plugs, etc to worry about.

Pros: 42+ MPG, Sunroof, MP3 Player standard.
Cons: The Germans havent quite perfected the electrical systems yet.

Great piece of engineering; a lot of fun with either the top up or down. I own a black on tan leather with multi spoke alloy wheels and XM radio and it's an overall great car. My wife use to drive it but now with a baby is a little difficult due to space, but we love the car

Pros: Everything about this car is excellent
Cons: Front lights tend to leak water, back seat space is for children but not for child seat.

Pros: loads of charisma
