Talk about a car that would turn heads!

4. Not to mention

That these cars ride really low to the ground! I'd have to install a orange flag just so the monster SUV and semi drivers could see me!

7. Actually,

These are really fuel effiecnt little cars If you put the four-bangers in them. The ones made in Britian can sustain 35 MPG at 75 mph.
