Price: $16,590 (base); $17,560 (as tested).
Fuel economy: 33 MPG city/41 MPG highway (EPA).
Standard equipment: A 1.0-liter, 70-horsepower 3-cylinder engine, 5-speed automated manual transmission, 15-inch aluminum wheels, power-operated convertible top, AM/FM stereo with 6-disc CD changer, power windows and air conditioning.
Safety equipment: Front and side air bags, electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes.
Major options: Power steering, heated seats, addition instruments (clock and tachometer) and an alarm system.
Pros: Fun to drive, easy to park and fuel economy at a motorcycle-like price.
Cons: Motorcycle-like passenger and luggage capacity, and you can’t get out of the gas station because of all the questions people ask. And the automated manual transmission is jerky.
Verdict: The most fun you’ll have in a car that uses only half a parking space.
