luvit, I'm going to be straight up honest: I have no credible claims. But when you put a car the size of a table, and with a high center of gravity on the highway at 55MPH and up, surrounded by cars that are at least twice as big (especially on Minnesotan roads in winter). Doesnt make for the best cleanup. No doubt its a safe car. I actually convinced my dad to reserve one two years ago. A big factor was how safe it was (later was struck with common sense. $16K for a tiny car... Not so much). I think its a good car with potential, but marketing and media-coverage on them is horrible. Like I said, potential for a GREAT city car, but not everybody will buy it when like he said in the video other bigger cars get much better mileage. Plus the Jetta TDI gets the same mileage in a bigger package, and the Cobalt XFE costs the same and gets 4 less MPGs.
