the amount of local populous that just throws toddlers (2-4/5) into a car with out any seats blows my mind. I see it near daily around town.

It takes me a good 2-3 mins to buckle up both kids. As I watch on to people with 3 kids climbing around the back seat....

I used to see that all the time in Philly. Kids with pacifiers literally hanging out of the back windows as the Altima flies around a stopped city bus on the wrong side of the road.

Things are a bit quieter in the suburbs.

Back in my 20's when I still lived in the city, I was stopped at a light facing north and some clapped out car was making a left going from west to south when I saw a small package fall out of the rear window. The car suddenly stopped in the middle of the intersection, a back door flew open, and a frantic lady ran out and picked up the package, which I now saw was an infant! It was alive because I saw it's arms moving.

Wild times, lol.

And infants were disposable commodities.

If all Altima owners were killed by a Klingon death ray, the collective IQ of the United States would improve by 10%

Now that were on the subject with useless back seats, now that im in iceland, i noticed a bunch of toyota hatches that looks like this. Notice how short the rear door is, no decent sized adults can't possibly be comfortable

We rented one of those the second time we went to Iceland… pretty sad vehicle, the Aygo.

Wasn't that 'Yota's answer to the Smart Car, and didn't Aston Martin (!) have a version of it, too?

The Aston Signet was based on the Scion IQ I think… which maybe was sold as the previous gen Aygo in other markets?

Thats the iq and its even smaller, we have it as a scion in the US.

Its definitely toyota iq in other markets, my cousins in athens has one of those

I drove the previous version … through Crimea. That thing was such a horrendous pos with a 3 cyl 1 liter motor. It couldn’t keep 50mph on a slight grade. Terrible 3rd world car

That would certainly be quite the adventure today.

Yep, slow as balls.

It was meant to be an urban car only. When used as designed it should never have to go over 50 mph.

The official top speed is 99mph the thing is freeway legal and not a scooter. Yet it’s basically a useless scooter with a tin can wrapper.

It really was terrible... would 100% pay for an upgrade next time. Dacia Duster is a far superior vehicle (which is not a common sentence).

"can" vs "should". I'd never want to try going that fast in one, lol. And I'd certainly never want to own one, but regardless of whether it can hit 99 mph, it should never have to if used as planned. As you said, an all-weather scooter for 2 for dense urban environments with narrow streets and limited parking.

Yea I’m with you… but imo a minimum qualification for a vehicle to be road legal is the ability to do the posted speed limit. This thing … could not or barely could and it was terrifying when an 18 wheeler can do it and you’re about to get squashed like a bug

18 wheelers can be intimidating in my :gti: when they drive like asshats. Whole nuther level of terror in one of those things, lol

I’d have thought the bright colors would deter that. My GTI was black but it didn’t get bullied much, maybe because of the xenon head lights.

The STI never got bullied. The Accord either. The CRV frequently gets cut off but I think it’s because nobody expects a CRV driver to a) care and 2) be able to do anything about it lol

Hit a mondo pothole at about 5 mph that rammed the bump stops hard. I’d be surprised if the tire isn’t flat or the wheel isn’t bent. Damn 19” wheels.

Throw on some STI wheels from FB marketplace.
