The mid-engine design is probably best for a 2-seat MPG car.
I did consider converting the MGeo that way, but then it would lose a
ll its character of the front engine, rwd setup.
(btw, I was looking at 914's before I found my Midget (which weighs only 1500lbs))
Having the engine in front is safer in my opinion, will absorb much of the impact before it gets to the driver, rather than have the weight crushing in on you from behind,
see this fun video for what I mean...

It's the mid-engine experience that has me wasting brain cells on this idea. It's far more entertaining to drive.
The Honda Beat's tag line was "mid-ship entertainment", I believe. And it's true. |
