As a Chinese person- these things are driven by elders in rural areas- 3rd or 4th tier cities. Old folks can get away with these without a license, and police can't really do anything about the recklessness (The concept of throwing a 70+ yr old bloke into prison for operating a motor vehicle without a license doesn't quite work in my country, unfortunately.) (Edit: These were absolute piles of s**t when they were new. They are "like" cars in terms of styling and shape, but that's it. Slightly warmer than a bike was the whole point of these things. Some are still made today, but they are gradually getting banned in cities with higher population.)

I learned that the hard way when I was down on my luck, some idiot totaled my car, and I was stuck with a two-hour bus & train commute for nearly a year. I stood in the freezing rain at the bus stop one night staring at an absolute beater that was sitting at a red light. Just thinking “I bet it’s warm, dry, and safe in there.” Saved up enough to buy my own beater and loved it to death for years. Now, I’m a spirited enthusiast, so my cars are more than just A-B appliances to me. But when someone needs a car to get by, anything will do and they definitely appreciate it. There should be a lot more affordable and basic cars available for those people.

The trick to driving manual streering is to move the car a tiny bit and not stand completely still when turning the wheel. Also rear wheel drive cars is much lighter to turn the wheel on. Once had my car with power steering at the repair and got a older car with Rear WD as loaner and did not notice it had no power steering until I at end of the day was parking it at the dealership and noticed it was a little bit hard to turn the wheel when standing still.

Your "like a moped scooter" analogy is on point. In many parts of Europe, cars like this are (or were) available. They have limited registrations, and are not allowed on highways. They can be operated with a limited license and most of the ones I remember seeing were driven by older folks on limited incomes in rural areas. They aren't much, but it beats walking or riding a moped in bad weather.

The prototype 2CV (French Citroen, designed to be a simple car for rural use) had a 600 CC engine with a pull starter next to the steering wheel. The design specification was that "an elegantly dressed woman" should be able to start the car with "2 or 3" pulls. This was in the late 1930's, so not having an electric starter or battery would significantly reduce costs and maintenance.

That looks a heck of a lot like my wife’s car has Chevrolet Matiz sold here in the UK. Yes I’m watching from the UK. It’s an 800cc car, but it does have catalytic converters AC remote central locking all electric windows, alloy wheels and can do an excessive 60 to 70 miles to the gallon. Great for tight little roads here in uk.

@JohnSmith-yv6eq Taking all the Power Features out of a 2024 Nissan Versa S ($17,190 before delivery charges) wouldn't reduce the price that much. As a matter of fact the extra design cost with low take rate might even make it more expensive. It's already standard EFI and 5-Speed Manual so doesn't have the CVT that has given all the Nissans a bad rep lately. The truth is the F150 Platinum my dealer is getting $85,000 for is not much more expensive to build than the XL work trucks he is getting $35,000 for. They could maybe cut that 10% with decontenting if the take rate on the lesser trucks were just as high and were new sales. The reality is the take rate would be low and it would take some XL sales so in the end it's likely to cost close to the same to build (you have to pay for design and tooling of all that stuff).

This type of 'car' - often known as a quadricycle is common in Europe. Under 400kgms, max speed 50 kph and max 15 kW power. Often used by elderly people as motorised shopping trolleys and, in France,can be driven from age 14. Given a wide berth by conventional drivers but very ecologically sound because in a collision they just leave a pile of carbon fibre which is simply swept up. 😂

He never has maxed it out like that so I had to see what it could do. He liked going fast on back roads i only seen him hit 125MPH in it. I had to show him what it could do. He was so proud of that car. I really take pride in my work. He only trusted me touching his cars. I also did work on all his cars. But the GR Corolla was the fun car.

Rear seat more suited for small children or packages. Standard transmission, floor shift. Listed as First, Second, Third and OT (or Out of Town), Gas mileage was terrific. Top speed was approx 40-45 but since the speed limit on the island was never above 50 it suited. Buddy of mine had a Subaru 360. 360 cc two cycle engine in the rear. For the location and usage they fit the bill. Would not mind having one here for just in town use, would be folly (suicide??) to try them on the highway.

I love the simplicity of it. People here have been spoiled by all the luxurious amenities in bigger modern overpriced American vehicles. Yes safety isn’t a big factor here but for a tiny thing to run around a small private community or property like a college campus/school, it does the job. Surely better than a golf cart. You have AC, radio and protected from the elements (rain or bugs). Yes the seals aren’t great but your other alternative is wide open. You can easily add rubber seals and better radio etc. it’s minimalist and simple to fix. Not all computerized. Spare parts at your local hardware store. Ha!

Here in Europe(maybe only in Estonia) these things are a hit. These things can be driven here by people without drivers licence(even people having their licence revoked for DIY). Recent law dictates that people who drive these things, have to use a sign on them, which indicates a "slow vehicle", usually used on farm tractors.

No, the rear logo implies GAC Group. The steering wheel logo looks like a cross between GAC Group and Foton (GAC Group has had many subsidiaries and manufactured vehicles for Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, etc.) Many of these subsidiaries have come and gone over the years; presumably this vehicle is obsolete or discontinued within the past few years. This type of car is for pensioners; they give away their nice car to the grandkids so they can have something decent for college/starting off their lives. This car minimizes expenses, lasts a few years. When the owner passes away, either someone in the family will take the car or give it away to another pensioner. The car doesn't need to last forever; just longer than the people owning it. Then it either gets chopped for parts or scrapped like a disposable product to make a new disposable cheap mini-car.
