This tiny two-seater doesn't feel as vulnerable as it appears. While the first generation was sold in Europe and Canada for a few years, the new second-generation model is available in the U.S. It features a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine that does a decent job putting along with traffic. It has a stiff ride, clumsy handling, and an automated manual transmission that shifts slowly, causing the car to pause and heave. ESC and curtain air bags are both standard. We've been getting 38 mpg overall so far.
