    Loved this. I live in France and these things are very common however here they are limited to 50kph. Always get caught behind one that sits in the middle of the road so you can't get past.

I was at a shop getting my street legal ATV serviced (I mention it because thats one of the other options you can drive at that age) and the mechanic was fixing a "slightly" crashed moped car. The front end was full on bent in and the frame was just this thin metal tubing. I talked with the mechanic and he said that he would never ever let his kids drive one or own one. He said that that crash happened at 30kmh and that thing looked like it was a 80kmh+ to a wall crash. I mean it was properly scary to think what would have happened if it was going any faster. Lets just say, I was way happier having with my motorcycle gear when a guy brake checked me while I was changing lanes and was throw into the backend of a Volvo estate, than crashing this the same way.

    You could swap a 1.4TDI or 1.9TDI VW diesel into that car. Probably get 70+MPG's and it would be reasonably quick due to the good torque the VW TDI motors put out.
    The 1.9TDI comes in a PD100 (100hp) or a PD150 (150)HP. The PD150's can hold 200+ wheel HP with just a turbo, big intercooler and tuning.

      @@camerongsx9122 1.9 ARL's with the GT1749VB are very old and very rare now. They were the original 'Red Letter' TDI engines and they were rare to get in a VW. More commonly these units were found in the 1st generation Seat Leon FR's. It's a hard engine to get hold of these days as most 1.9's with the ARL engine code have long been scrapped. The Turbo's never lasted on them and you'd be lucky to find an ARL that doesn't have a 'war siren' turbo on its way out. I had a 1.9 PD engine in the original Seat Leon FR so I know these engines well as I had one for six years. They were good at the time when they first came out but not long shortly after other newer 16 valve twin overhead commonrail injected diesels came along with 350/370nms of torque with extra overboost features and the ARL's became quickly out dated. Sadly as they were Pumpe Duse and only running 320nms of torque on an 8 valve engine they weren't the best.

      100hp would kill that chassis, it's not designed to take a lot of torque. They could simply get an diesel 15kW engine from kubota, and it would run better. I have an Aixam with an 5HP diesel engine, and although it has a lower v-max, the torque is wayy better than this.

    OMG, im a car mechanic by trade, and recently we had a micro car in the shop, it was an Aixam c3. Such a POS lol. It had a 2 cylinder, 500cc, diesel engine with a cvt gearbox. This thing was so cheaply made, i could see light shining though the body pannals cuzz its all fiberglass. Due to the fact that "scooters" dont need an APK(dutch MOT) this thing had never had any checks yet, so all tyres were on the cords, all wheelbearings were so shot that when it was on its wheels it would wobble and it had no cooling cause the termostate was cooked for a long time and everything was clogged. Would recomend just getting an aygo for the same money lol

      The main "selling point" of these things is that unlike a normal car, you can drive them with just an AM license (which you can get at 16, 15 or even 14 years old, depending on where you live).

    Something that I find absolutely hilarious about this car is that despite the fact it's a 500cc petrol engine with zero emissions, it still has to pay both the ULEZ in London and the CAZ charge for Birmingham and Bristol. So sadly, you wont be saving any money on that with the upgrade from the Range Rover.

      I went to Vietnam ages ago and rented a motorcycle, since at the gas station everything was written in Vietnamese I filled it with Diesel, after a while I've realized the mistake since it was loosing a lot of throttle, I've half empytied it by tilting it on the side in an empty field and put some gasoline, it ran like 1 week with 50% Diesel and 50% Gasoline, then i filled the trunk again with the correct fuel.
      Still impressed.

    In the US, the filler nozzle and fuel tank opening for diesel is a larger circumference than for gasoline(petrol).
    This makes it near impossible to fill a gasoline/petrol car with diesel accidentally.
    (Still possible to accidentally fill a diesel with petrol tho)
    Is this not the case in the UK?
    Are the nozzle and tank opening the same size for petrol and diesel?

    Had one ( not this model) as the main car for over a year, and as a second car for another 3 years, my one was a diesel.good little car for local trips. Needs some advance planning on Hills' top speed, isn't that fast, but most local trips for me is at 12 to 20 average speed anyway.
    The two downside that I found was it was difficult to get an insurance company to accept it, then it was really hi for what it is. And at that time, only one dealer for it, so part had to be delivered by post and slow.
