She plans to have it detailed, but the carpeting is a non issue in the early Elements. That's part of their utilitarian beauty. Everything is rubber and high quality plastic, including the washable woven seat material. Nothing plush at all. She's used a hose on it a few times.

It's true the car isn't terribly comfortable. My legs start to fall asleep after a couple hours' driving, but it doesn't bother the missus.

Overpriced used ones that go *poof* are by definition, not over-priced.
