Or you could get a VW Jetta with a 1.9L Turbo Diesel and get 55mpg on a roadtrip...
Capable of holding 5 people and actually looks like a car...Comment

I have no problems with an ugly car that is extremely efficient and environmentally friendly. But I DO have a problem with a car that can fit 2 smaller people at most, and that will get trashed in an accident. I don't care how "safe" it is supposed to be, but if that thing were to hit our F-150 it would be crushed like a tin can (or flying away).Comment

Crash tests also showed that the Toyota Tercel was an extremely safe car. The Tercel had the highest death-per-accident rating of any other car produced from 1992-1998, when it was built with the new design. Crash test's mean squat, because they test against equal mass at 30mph. When that gets hit by a 3-ton Excursion at 50mph because the woman yacking on her phone didnt see that midget car, see how well it holds up.
When will Americans wake up and realize that Diesel fuel is cleaner and far more efficient than gassoline. A diesel electric hybrid compact or midsize car could very easily pull down a lot more than those numbers, and would be a real car. Hell, like it was said, diesel jetta's have recorded mpg #'s in the high 50's. Diesel escorts pulled down high 40's, and those were mechanical IDI motors with no turbo's.Black/Red Tribal 2.0 BBT, Morlock board, 90* Angel Space frame, to many goodies to list. SOLD

Would degrade the fuel efficency... so then what are the reasons you bought one?Originally posted by gc82000Imagine those cars with a lift and and huge tires it would be crazy.
PS- Agreed on the diesel, was looking for one myself... as it looked like a lot of people were about to do... more efficent, diesel cheaper then regular... then diesel became as expensive as super, wtf? Goddamn petroleum company conspiracyQuote of the year: "Reading blwos"
As little as 10 cents a day and you can buy my family out of slavery... Hurry before its too late!

In Europe those are mainly used for driving in the cities, since they are easier to park and get through traffic. If I remember right, they don't do over 55mph, so might be a little tricky driving on highways.

I think they even let them park perpendicular to the curb, which does a lot to alleviate the overcrowding of European cities.
American driving needs really demands a different sort of car than the average European would need.Comment
