RAY: We agree with "great mileage" and "cheap," Aaron. I'm not so sure about "safe."

TOM: Yeah. If you do nothing but "around-town" driving, it's probably safe enough. But before you buy one, try it yourself. When you go for a test-drive, tell the salesman you want to take it out on the highway, and then try weaving in between some semis and F-350 pickup trucks.

RAY: If the salesman isn't covering his eyes and crying for his mommy by then, you may be on to something.

TOM: We actually love little, fuel-efficient cars. And if you live in a city or do mostly stop-and-go suburban driving, this could be a great car. It probably gets spectacular gas mileage, and you can park in all those spaces that other cars can't quite fit into.
