Hmmm.... We hired a diesel Megane in 2006 in the UK, and it was the ugliest car I have ever driven. Have to admit the R26 looks better, but here's the butt.

oh, I don't know, SailDesign, I think she's cute

well, compared to the older models, that is. She reminds me a little bit of a modern AMI 6

I have t oadmit she drove very nicely. Embarrassed a BMW 3-series in the rotaries (lotsa those in the UK) although he would always catch me on the 1/2-mile straights in between, only to be embarrassed on the corners all over again! Fun.

that does look pretty bad ass.

top gear tested this car, the windows are Plexiglas

I wouldn't mind trying on that peugeot (black & white) for size.

Some of these smaller cars are not necessarily slower than my Yaris. I wish we had more small cars to choose from out here. Parking out here is getting more and more difficult

My first car was a Citroen 2CV6 Dolly, it looked exactly like this one:

The Ford Ka might look cute but its a really crappy car. It was never popular for good quality. The new KA hopefully does a better job.

We have tourists in Jamestown who like to take up two spaces. With their Excursions and Hummers, etc.
So I parked nose-in behind one last night (still inside the half-space he'd left) when I went to get take-out. Pissed him off that he didn't have room to back up to get out without turning his wheel more than half a turn. I asked him to learn how to drive, or get used to being parked in. dork!

If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

My boyfriend had a Citroën C3.

It was a comfortable little car with soft seats.

But the built quality was horrible and we had many electrical and mechanical faillures with this car!
It was a very slow car too in comparison with our Yaris.

This was the car:

Talk about small cars, they have tons of small cars in italy.
I was there for a few days 4 or 5 years ago and saw some REALLY small cars, there.
I can't find the pictures on my HD right now, might be on my old computer, I'll look

BluYrs · 10-06-2009, 07:14 AM

IMHO one of the most unique-looking small cars was the original Renault Twingo. Unfortunately, like the Ka, it was total crap (electrical problems, rust). Already in 1992 it had a centrally-mounted instrument panel and sliding rear seat.

Of current cars, I like the design of the Citroen C3 Picasso. A European take on the Japanese ute-box concept.
