That's relative. 35% more power than a last gen. Metro, and barely weighs 100 lbs more. I appreciate the lengths Mitsu's engineers went to design efficiency into the whole package.

I just wish they'd made it steer and handle better out of the box. That would have avoided a lot of criticism the car has had from the typical auto reviewers, and it wouldn't have hurt MPG.
If it came in a 3 door version I would understand the car a little better. It would be an eco car to get good gas mileage. Making it a 5 door is kind of like saying well its kind of an eco car but it's also kind of a sedan, neither of which I feel it excels at. Really just don't understand the need for cargo room and 2 extra doors, are they making them for vacuum salesmen or just as cheap cars. And it seems they are just making them as cheap cars
