I have driven a Canadian model, the turbo diesel .
They sure are cute.
That was in about 2007 ..
hardly any had ever been seen here .  People would stop, point, gawk, etc.

under-powered..
lurchy semi-automatic transmission.

also what I would call very likely a much better new car than a used one.

I have always noticed, that on cars with tiny engines ..
Americans drive the snot out of them to get them to get going ..
by the time one of these has say 80,000 miles on it, I'll bet it'll be
pretty tired..
engine wise , perhaps transmission wise too.

If Consumer Reports has a data on it ....good idea to see what they say..
A+ for cuteness though !
