    They either love it or hate it but they can't stop staring.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    I have never had so much fun. It is very safe despite its size. I was involved in a rear end shunt at 70mph and the larger car that hit me was a write off. I drove it 3 hours home with only superficial damage.
