Fun little runabout with cheeky iconic styling. Money permitting, I'd lean toward a convertible Abarth. It's unfortunate the electric sunroof disappeared, but a sliding canvas roof would do the trick. From what I understand, both MINI and Fiat dropped the electric sunroof due to expense and lack of use. According to their data, people simple don't use them much so companies could justify the cost cutting measure. And yeah, one pedal is kinda fun. 🙂
LoL ... He seems a bit concerned about the 'rose' in the gold color. My first thought is women would like the color and like to go for a ride. But then again my gf wouldn't much like that. Seems a much more intelligent EV purchase than any Tesla or other EV companies about to go bankrupt. Curb weight is what determines how 'green' any car actually is, gas or batteries. This would be my idea of first EV. All EV batteries need interchangeability before I'm interested in any new EV.
Rose gold is just not a colour I would choose for a car personally. I think the 500 looks awesome in black or red. But you're right about it being a lot people's idea of what a first EV would be. It's the perfect electric city runabout. As far as battery life goes, most manufacturers state that their batteries will last well beyond the end of the warranty - in the same a way a car doesn't suddenly stop working at the end of its warranty. So you're looking at maybe 10-20 years before you'd need to think about replacing a battery and most people look at buying a new car around then anyway. Thanks for watching!
Bellissimo design. Fully loaded. Attention to detail. Classic

Got to admit I've owned three cars with sunroofs and never open them either, although I do like the extra light they let in. Thanks for watching!
any info re back seats?
Yes. They’re minuscule.
