That's the lightest weight 4-seater in the North American market that I'm aware of.
The two seat 2010 Smart Fortwo is even lighter at 1808 lbs. |
If you are looking at it from the FE perspective, the fiesta is worth waiting for. It even has a double clutch 6 speed automatic available and a direct injection 1.6 for used mini money and I bet a bigger interior. The mini is seriously small inside. The rear seat is useless for adults. The mazda2 which the fiesta is based on is lighter still and will on sale in the US a few months after the fiesta.
