I became very interested in these cars since I saw them on ebay a couple of weeks ago, and evidently so have alot of other people. Tom had 497 emails in his inbox with questions about them. It's the first time an EV is available to us at a reasonably affordable price. So I drove all the way out to Eurostar and took a test drive yesterday. Upon pulling into the driveway and seeing a row of City's in person my first thought was that they seemed a bit smaller than I had imagined from pictures online. Here's a pic of my '00 Protege next to one.
I enjoyed the test drive and the way the car felt. I basically agree with everything Rokeby described in his posts. I'm still mulling it over as to whether I'll buy one or not, but at least now I've seen and driven one first hand.
