    It's the cutest car by looks.

    It's the cutest car by looks. It rides like a bucking horse or a ship on a rough sea. For some reason it started to ride like this after I had it serviced at a BMW dealership. I took it back there and they can't find anything wrong with the car. For sure I would't have purchased it had it ridden so roughly during my test drive. I may just sell it.

    ultimate electric driving machine

    Excellent car that zips on the road - you can feel the pickup with no sound. Very neat interior - much more spacious than expected. The car looks small on the outside and has rear-hinged door on the rear. Something you see on Rolls.
