Any experience? Why are they so expensive! I'm sure they'd be too small for me, just something about them, think they look awesome with simple lowering and nice rims...

A mate has one, quite light (aluminium doors, bonnet, wings) has a nice engine note.

They are very small.
But I've seen a mountain bike in the back of one - so it can be done

Nice cars and pretty nippy but hold there value so well so bit pricey, I find there to small inside and I'm not a big guy!

This is what I was thinking...
Surely it's been done!? Or is there not enough space.

No boot, no glovebox, no door pockets.
Good engine, good gearbox if you get the 6 speed. Raven blue is the best colour to have, or Anthracite grey (but I've only ever seen one)
Drive well, handle like a go-kart and are quite nippy.
Overpriced? maybe, but they're great fun if you can live with such a small impractical car.
