Elio is making a car that gets 84 mpg. It seats 2 ( 2 nd person sits directly behind driver). It comes with a/c and heater, power windows and door locks. It's $6400 -$6800. I'm thinking about putting deposit to get one next year. I think it pays for itself after a few years in gas. The only thing that concerns me is that it is a direct buy ( no dealerships). It will be serviced by Pep boys. Comes with 3 years, 36,000 mile warranty. Anyone know anymore about this car? Thanks. I think it has 2 wheels in front and one in back so I'm wondering if that would make it dangerous. 4951

@sweetie: I have a car with two wheels in front and one in back, and it handles very well, especially in turns. The Elio reminds me of those little Chevron toy cars because it looks like it has a face in front. Emoticon 4951

@sweetie:
But would you feel safe with it on the highways? Looks really small? 4951

@sweetie: MPG.... Never have checked it but it has a GM Ecotec engine with a 2.4 inline 4 so I would assume MPGs would be pretty good. It has no air bags and has not been tested by the safety commission so I don't take it out on the highways. It's just for a little sunny fun now and then.

@elguapo:
 
I was more worried about it being standard drive. Didn't think about safety. I just love the look. Thanks for reminding me there is more to it than picking out a color! 4951

@QueenB:
 
I didn't know a car could be sold without air bags and not tested by the safety commission. My dd says I don't need it. She pointed out that I have a mustang conv that has very low mileage that I hardly ever drive. I just thought it looked like a fun little car. Didn't think about the safety. I love yours! 4951
