This is what brits need to driving more! Perfect for our very tight parking spaces and small roads. We ain’t America we don’t need big SUV’s.
Becoming very popular in Eastern Poland today........great for buzzing to the next village to see relatives.....dry, warm etc and you can drive without a licence.
Mr Miserable did this one! if you dislike it so much why make the vid! let someone else do it who appreciates the car, hop back in your old rover and give someone else the keys!
That's like saying "you cant post a bad review. Leave it to the fans"
all you need as daily transport I'd have one, but sadly were forced to run these oversized junk we have now that people believe they can go fast in, when in reality your just sitting in traffic
If they sold 'em here in the States, I'd buy one.
Dont buy them! They are extremely unsafe and will just kill you in an accident. Heres a video of the most popular microcar getting wrecked in the low speed of only 50KMH ruclips.net/video/5zlCfIG4-OY/видео.html
@@psychosis1767 much safer than a scooter you fucking hater...
@@psychosis1767 better than a bike or a scooter? you buy them for transport not to crash in, otherwise we'd all be driving tanks!
@@jahmikey_selection I never said they wouldn't be any safer than a scooter. Normal cars have much more safety standards than these small death boxes so you will be better off if you'd just save for 2 years and get a used car than this. You can get a license for a microcar in Finland if you're 15 years old but most people just wait for 3 years so they can get a license for a car.
@@reefer2917 Yes, they might be safer than a bike or a scooter. But it will literally kill you if you were caught in an accident. We cant manipulate anyone else's driving skills or your luck, so if you crash with one of these with a normal car because of unseen circumstances, the normal car will just wreck you up and microcars don't have any airbags or safety glass so you will most likely get seriously injured or die.
Would consider it though with the following changes (for the UK):
- Increase the max engine size and power to 550cc and 56 hp respectively (minimum being 500cc and 28 hp)
- Top Speed eletronically limited to 70 mph
- Increase max weight by 50-100kg
- Styling would be inspired by mid/late-80s 550cc Era Kei Cars instead of the current squashed-appearance of many a Microcar
- Available with petrol, diesel, lpg and other multifueled variants
flip inheck
Understand that is currently the case in the UK, just wish the UK Microcar segment was loosely modeled after pre-98 Japanese Kei Cars, albeit possibly limited to automatic / CVT type gearboxes.
Throw a turbocharger on it. Put a state-of-the-art motor in it. And make it fun to drive. It doesn't need to be fast, just steer quickly and corner flat.
@@wickiezulu If the only microcars available were Jap then count me out. I have a socio/political/economic stance that precludes buying anything from a country that operates a closed border to imports.
they can save a lot of parking spaces.
Towed one behind a motorhome ! Very handy !
At 0:30 i thought that number plate said VIRGIN
I'll have one as my first car
+Jacob Kearton JUST DONT! The cars quality is bullshit and it feels like a cardboard box. you can get a volkswagen polo for the same price.
i am getting one when i am 16 as can be driven on a moped license
Something to note, they can only be driven on a full AM licence
In England they can actually be driven on a full moped/B1 licence
Hans I had one total rubbish went back to reliant robin please don’t buy
I would like to buy it!!
ik heb ook een microcar virco gehad en dat was een fijn karetje
You neglected to say how much they cost and the MPG
100 mpg can get them used for about 3 grand they dont lose value
I suggest you that front seat should be single and middle and center seat and 2nd seat should be rear and back seat for only one person or 2 persons . Totally this vehicle should be for 2 or 3 persons . There should be 4 doors in this vehicle . This vehicle will be best and best alternative to bike , scooter . Very very much there is need of this vehicle in Pakistan plz launch in Pakistan also . Specially white collar persons r in search of this vehicle . Specially White collar persons want this vehicle and I also need of this vehicle in Pakistan plz . In raining this vehicle will fully helpful . Pent , cot and shoes will save in raining . And It will be safety from high sunlight and cool weather and from also dust . Please launch in Pakistan we people thankful to you .
PRICE is the problem. If somebody had a small car at affordable price in U.K. then they would be popular.
Looks like a Vauxhall corsa at the back light from 1994
True
Yep... lights are indeed from mk1 5 door Corsa
I'd have 1 just for the giggle factor

nice trendy car' not strange at all..
guys a grumpy git fae the muppet show
How much
Seen one in a garage
"... not at these prices"... and those prices were?!
+Darwinion They start out at 12.000 dollars
Can these be driven on a cbt
To drive a microcar:
If it is 350kg or under you can drive it on an am license which means if you have done your cbt all you have to do is do your theory and then you can drive it including 16 year olds!!
If its over 350kg you must have a valid b1 license
@@shahed4541 what is a CBT? Is it like a learners permit?
What micro is this one?

Hola Lesio
Make it a 5-speed clutch and you'll get way better performance. Cheaper and lighter than an automatic transmission.
I doubt that, this uses a variomatic transmission which is really light, as it is belt driving and can be mounted directly onto the transmission. With that, there are also no steps in the transmission so there is no loss of power as there is only "1" gear.
@@DerpotronGames CVT have actually more power loss than a gearbox because of the constant slippage of the belt

my mate bought one & it's a pile of ###t dealer did not want to know when faults reported, leaks like a sieve when it rains, prices for items like tyres a rip off, most parts dearer than Ford parts, can't bump start it either.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS
FINANCIAL LIABILITY!
Since when could you bump start an automatic??
Why is thing so overpriced
Because we get ripped off here in the uk
Smart cars are so much better
Nikola Martinis I have a Smart diesel, it's a brilliant little car, but for those who just have a motorcycle licence, these are the best option, they won't break any speed records, they make a good town car though, very economical, fairly well equipped, it's no competition for a Smart, but plenty good enough for local journeys.
