I don't have any experience with 2 stroke automobiles, but I've ridden my fair share of 2 stroke motorcycles and 4 wheelers. My only complaint with the 2 strokes I've ridden is the complete lack of low end grunt they possessed. Maybe its only the examples I've been on, but they made crazy power really high in the RPM range vs conventional 4 strokers.

I rode a 500cc Kawasaki that had been made street legal (thank you SD for your ridiculously lax licencing requirements) from Sioux City to Michigan once. It was probably the worst ride of my entire life, but it was filled with plenty of smiles when I got on it.

If they could be made emission complaint and paired to the right transmission, a very light 2 stroke automobile would be alot of fun while remaining economical.
