I'm developing strange new feelings towards this car; tell me, /o/, am I a complete faggot for liking:

-Easy to park literally anywhere
-Dat tiny turning radius
-Tiny Engine + Good safety ratings = Cheap to insure
-Like a smart car, but build quality doesn't suck nearly as hard
-Can be fitted with a roof rack to handle average-to-moderate hauling
-decent standard options like and aux jack, four-wheel ABS

Does anyone here have experiences with this car they can share? I have a couple of fears that I want to have confirmed or denied:

-Light weight + tall body = undrivable in bad weather
-motor+cvt won't be able to sit comfortably at highway speed
-Insurance savings won't be worth the power compromises
-Weenie motor won't be able to pull a trailer full of compost, cinder blocks, cement mix
-CVT suckiness will outweigh all of the other benefits of the car
-Roof-mounted cargo box will turn it into a wind sail
-Sales flop and discontinuation will mean parts will be hard to get.

It's a mediocre shitbox. The novelty will wear off and you'll hate it.

join the subcompact cult, bro.

but seriously i havent messed with one of these but the TRD badge in the grill has me interested.

and i believe manufacturers legally have to continue to provide parts for 10-20 years. i mean i can get parts for my fieros no problem.

I live in the urban capital of a blue state. None of the girls around here give a shit what kind of car you drive.

>>14806101

You're an eternal unbearable faggot if you buy this.
