Why doesn’t Honda and others sell normal sized 125s like in the rest of the world.

Everyone chill.  Its a toy for people with big money, either real or debt. 

Jason should go full Sabine Schmitz van driver on it and reduce the weight as much as possible. 

Thats $16,000, (452 x 12) x 3, and you wind up with a 7 year old miata.  And a Chevy Equinox diesel ?  

Yeah I think you are right.  I saw one a few days ago and its bigger than I thought and it has very big and wide tires.

Sandy Munro, hello ?

You were driving on back highways, at higher speeds, up and down hills. I’m guessing for the boring commute and general driving around town and suburbia the turbo won’t kick in so much and the mpg will be better. After all that is what the engine is tuned for.

More off grid charging. Say you work at the Tesla plant in Fremont ! You park you electron sucker under the sprawling solar panels that cover the parking lot. You plug in being charged only from the solar panels above. After 9 hours of working in a cirus tent your model whatever will have gotten something from the…

How much fuel does your mower use to cut the 1/2 acre ? How much fuel does your car need for your 40 min commute ? Whatever used more put out more CO2.

The bumps on the curbs should be bigger or the green runoff areas should be eliminated. Makes the track a bit twistier.

Solar solar solar.  Works great when its sunny (hot).

The parents should, at a minimum, invite the driveway owner to a backyard BBQ and feed him all the steaks and beer he can tolerate.

Some gear shift knobs are weighted to give shifting a smoother more solid feel. I would always remove it and replace it with a piece of wood.

Can the air cooled engine handle the desert heat ?  

I bet a lot of people who buy this (or the trailblazer) will REFUSE to call it a hatchback or stationwagon.

Don’t forget the DIY 2x4 bumpers.

Not sure, but, when the tubes are inserted into the lugs, they are brazed. The seat stays are welded on.

Plug it, its easy. Done it twice. Yeah sidewall damge, replace tire. If you had to drive on a flat tire to get out of a dangerous area, yeah it might be toast. You drove over a piece of solid iron and a big slice in you tire, new tire.  But a nail, easy fix. Oh yeah, if you have a car that has an actual spare, check…
