I'm usually not a hatch fan but that little car looked awesome. I got my last new gas powered manual transmission car before EVs are the main thing. Since I work from home and don't drive a bunch my plan is to keep it as long as I can and get an EV in 4-5 years when hopefully infrastructure catches up a bit and more manufacturers have an option and work out small kinks.
When I was in high school back in the late 70s you'd still see a few of those around. My friend had one, but not for long. Someone had put in a more powerful motor and if she wasn't careful accelerating she would snap the drive shaft.
