I hadn't read a review on it yet as the styling was a bit disappointing and I really wasn't too interested in the car. My son, however, was immediately drawn to it. After driving it, I found myself grinning non-stop for half an hour. It is really fun to drive and the 0-40 accelleration is very impressive. It handles very well. It seems to be a solid car and for its size, has a good amount of room inside. If I did a lot of city driving, I would have a hard time not considering it.
+1. I was as impressed with how much it felt like a bmw when closing doors and driving around as I was with the low end acceleration. Just has that solid and planted feel you expect from a BMW, despite being so small (and plastic ).
