Wifey and I just returned from a two week trip to the UK. We rented a Fiat 500 and drove about 1000 miles across a wide range of roads.How did I like that tiny car? It barely fit our luggage and us. Our shared bag filled the trunk. Our carry ons and backpacks filled the back seat. Having no power is a real bummer. While it weighed but 2300 lbs, 70 HP doesn't get you there very quickly. My motorcycle has substantially more horsepower as do our other vehicles. Which required a different manner of driving. For narrow lanes in Cornwall and Somerset where pucker factor is constantly high as you maneuver between hedges and oncoming traffic in a one and a half car width lane, however, it worked pretty well. I only took a chunk out of the left front tire once choosing to nerf the curb instead of the lorry beside me. I finally adjusted to periodically dragging the mirror through the hedges.
I would never buy one myself.
While I disable auto-stop from our Passport every time, that feature was quite useful in downtown London where they're not fooling when they say the "Conjested Zone" or elsewhere out in the countryside when traffic likewise just stops and gas is $7.60/gallon.
