Just seen one of these parked in the street outside my office. Never seen one before.

pretty cool...but surely only town transport with 21hp.......ligier and aixam make similar offerings....

I had to laugh when I read "Max speed 72mph (estimated)" Does the "estimated" mean it's never been as fast as 70mph to be able to confirm!?

There are loads of those sort of things in Italy. Some of them look pretty good until you hear the scooter engine !

(to be spoken in an Eric Oldthwaite accent)21 bhp-more than enough lad. In my day we used to build a Citroen engine the night before out of two different cars and tour most of Europe with it fitted to an Ami 6 and still have fuel to spare. The young don't know they've been born. And that was after my 2cv4 with a gut-busting 435cc. which had the windscreen wipers off the speedo drive-why they ever fitted a speedo was a mystery-perhaps to prove that you were moving.Ah!! they were the good old days.

i actually love small low powered car, cars where you 'make progress' rather than accelerate...my wee beetle had 34 screaming hp...and it was more than enough for each and every task i put it to...god i miss that wee car...(wipes away tear....)

Seen the Aixam ones a few times - 500cc diesel engine. Microcar seems nicer in a strange way. Nice 'put-put' sound to it I bet!!

"Fuel consumption Average rural 65mpg estimated"

So if thats rural, what about "town" where it will spend most of its time?

Mileage warrenty only 25000 miles?

Price £6495

Somehow I think that there are plenty of superminis/town cars out there which are better value for money.....but I've always felt that the Smart is overpriced and this one says its an alternative to Smart - says it all, really!

can't say I'm keen. Looks cheaply built and can't imagine it'll last the test of time quite as well as a more mainstream car. If it was up to me I'd probably prefer a second hand Citroen C2 if I wanted a small town car for about 6.5k
