My son in England had the two door as a moving ad for his business. It was so small to look at but once I got in it and just pressed the pedal to the floor the thing was amazing. Either auto or manual and -unlike the US imports - ran for over 70 miles per gallon. I was all for getting one here in Naples until I found the pollution police had restricted it to around 30mpg.

Now considering a Prius C as they advertise 53 mpg City.
