just how small are they!? i am just under six foot but do i have a hope in hell of fitting in one?!
rather fancy one and i have seen a few for around 3k which is what i was going to pay for a midget!. i presume they are solid, reliable cars but..............85mph!?!?! i guess they can be derestricted and suitably modified to make them go faster. I would be interested to know about suspension kits, any engine mods and the like. nothing too serious.....!

Tried sitting in one of these when they first got imported into UK. Total C**p! I'm only 5'10 and (was then) very slim and it was a squeeze. Also major body panels are lightweight aluminium. So much so that the dealer didn't let me shut the bonnet incase I dented it with my hand!!! Also quater panels are the same stuff. However they are very cute. Seen some tricked up ones but never actualy driven one. I'll stick with my MX5's

I have never driven one, but did sit in one once, and found it clostrafobi, too small!

I parted next to one last week, and it was significantly smaller than my barchetta, which is not a big car to start with.

Never driven one, but I like the idea of a micro sports car...

here is a tuned jap one. No idea what the text says but just look at the performance figures!
