pretty amazing, just unfortunate that your body can't handle that fast of a decelleration

They should really test it by driving it with the tractor trailers on 78 West. Unlike a wall, a TT will push back and keep moving you.

Least impressive part of those tiny cars is MPG. C&D just tested one and they got ~30mph mixed driving. You'd think that thing would get 60 mpg, lol.

Yea, I remember them!
3 cylinder, 70hp, runs on premium, and mileage is only so-so (considering).

I noticed that too...I like how they taught the safety, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have any legs with something like that. And the whiplash would be pretty fierce.

i gotta say for wat it is that's not bad for a 70mph crash. i bet a third gen would be worse or at least just as bad. there's a dude in montclair that has one. and like he said, it may only get about 37 mpg (wat he gets) but with a 8 gallon gas tank it only costs 25-30 to fill up. that's where you save the money.

take two cars that have a 320 mile range on a tank. one has a 13 gallon tank the other an 8 gallon. at 3.50 a gallon it'll cost 45.5 to fill up. at 12000 miles a year you'd fill up 37.5 times a year. that's 1706.25 dollars a year. at 8 gallons it would cost 28 to fill up. at 12000 miles you'd spend 1050 on gas. that's a big difference. especially when a car with 13 gallons getting 320 miles on a tank is almost 25 mpg which isn't bad imagine getting worse gas mileage

that's not what you said. the way you said it you were portraying that filling up more often saves you money, not the better mpg
