i had one and loved it. It just zipped in and out of traffic. I got looks everywhere I went and a lot of thumbs up signs. I felt secure in it since it has a roll cage like a race car. Got almost 40 miles a gallon. I am big 5ft 10 in and overweight. I fit into it just fine. Now the downsides... You have no spare tire. You have a fix a flat kit. But if your tire is damaged you are out of luck no matter where you are. It is sold out of the Mercedes dealership and costs an arm and leg to get repairs,we had a battery go out after a few months and it took over a week to get a replacement (I live outside Dallas,Tx). It is a very rough ride unless the road is very smooth. There is room for very little behind the back seat. I wanted to take it and go to Virginia but would not have been able to take luggage. My daughter refused to ride with me on a 400 mile round trip because of the rough ride. It had been an impulse buy. I had wanted one ever since they came out and did not think it all out. I traded it off even though I still loved it ,it just wasn't practical. As a 3rd car yes I would have one but it is very limiting.
