Gimme a quick rundown on these meme machines? I've always

They're small

IDK cuz they couldn't even do the transverse FWD thing right and FIAT had to perfect that too.

Old ones are not reliable. New ones are. JCW is pretty good. They all ride stiff

The car of fwd gods

Your knees will become an integral part of the car's crumple zone

only on the outside
and the back seat (head room)
otherwise if you see another one on the road its hard to believe your in the same car

they almost had it right
but lost 15% drive train efficiency when they turned the engine around to avoid carburettor ice
>gearbox and engine have the same oil
>sump oil can get on the clutch
>sump is the same height as most curbs
even low speed mistake when parking the sump can get cracked
and higher speed crash can bend the front subframes with ease
>rusty - roof gutters - rear subframe (it did not have subframes at first) - door sills - battery box
and internal seams can take 3 square meters off of the car aerodynamic wise
external seams are a budget cut

Fiat did win out in the long run
but side by side is wider and requires asymmetrical half shafts + intermediate shaft for power handling
body style wise the Renault 4 is the proto modern shitbox shopping trolly (hatch back with folding seat)

>Old ones are not reliable
kind of true
they are easy to fix
also its from the 1950s
>New ones are
doubt intensifys

>>17885622
low weight
big engine for its size
rock hard suspension - gimped suspension is one of its main packaging innovations
short wheel base
wide track
left foot braking

>>17885728
no
its an unlikely crash
minis hit things sideways or backwards
Suzuki super carry is the one to take your knees away
