For just a little more, you can get a brand new Nissan Versa, or a Chevy Aveo or Hyundai Accent.

By a little more you mean over twice as much, yes? Because none of those cars start at under 12k. That's without the automatic transmission too. While I know many on this board deplore autos, I have almost no interest in a vehicle that doesn't have an automatic transmission.
As for protection from the elements, this thing would be very easy to put a shell on for wind/waterproofing. I suppose dealing with the cold might be an issue for some, but I'm in Florida so that's a non-issue here.
Honestly though, the more I look into this, the more I'm thinking about drawing up plans to build my own off some parts where I can ensure better quality.
