very poor economy for it's size (33/41mpg), $3,000+ overpriced and is (IMHO) a woman/gay-guy car.
Think about it, 33/41mpg in a vehicle that small is
terrible. It should be getting 55+mpg. The 2007 Toyota Corolla gets 32/40mpg, the 2007 Honda Civic with a 1.3L gets 49/51mpg and the 2007 VW Golf TDI gets 37/44mpg.
The only good point of the ForTwo
was it's turbocharged Mercedes engine. With that out of the picture, the US version is a complete piece of junk.
No intelligent person should willingly pay more than $8,000 for one of those rolling turds.
