Fiat Abarth 750 Coupé, 1956, by Viotti. The Turin-based carrozzeria built a few hundred of these Michelotti-designed coupés based on the rear-engined Fiat 600 chassis. A small number (described as a "handful") were tuned by Abarth with the engine enlarged to 747cc allowing a maximum speed of 135kph

Big value.

So, are affordable subcompact cars just dead in the US and Canada?

I had the thought that if my 20+ year old WRX died and I had to get a new car, maybe I'd get a smaller one and see what that's like, but the Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta, and Chevy Spark are all defunct, and the Fiat 500, 2-door Mini, and VW Golf all cost more than just getting a new Impreza (or a Corolla, Civic, Mazda 3...) would.

The BMW Isetta Spiaggia Custom Roadster was a microcar built under license in Germany from April 1955 to 1962.

The Isetta is an Italian-designed microcar built under license in a number of different countries, including Argentina, Spain, Belgium, France, Brazil, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Because of its egg shape and bubble-like windows, it became known as a bubble car, a name also given to other similar vehicles.

In 1955, the BMW Isetta became the world's first mass-production car to achieve a fuel consumption of 3 L/100 km (94 mpg‑imp; 78 mpg‑US). It was the top-selling single-cylinder car in the world, with 161,728 units sold.

Initially manufactured by the Italian firm Iso SpA, the name Isetta is the Italian diminutive form of Iso, meaning "little Iso".

Just A Quick Kia Picanto Review

Fun, easy to drive and spacious, the Kia Picanto is a practical and versatile city car with an efficient engine.

The Kia Picanto for sale is a five-door hatchback that offers lots of space for you and your passengers, even the boot is pretty big for a car of this size. It has efficient engines which are also fun and easy to drive, while running costs like tax and insurance are low. It's also super reliable.

There are three petrol engines to choose from and Kia has a straightforward way of describing its trim levels. The trims start at the Picanto 1 entry model and rise to 2 and 3 which include extra equipment. Look out for special editions, including a sporty GT-Line, an off-road inspired X-Line, the Wave and Titanium. With many added extras, these could well be the best bargains.

The current Kia Picanto models for sale arrived around 2017, but if you’re looking at older cars the previous generation Mk2 Picanto offers many of the same advantages. It’s a good value, spacious and practical city car that’s easy and fun to drive around town. It also comes with the choice of three or five doors, while later cars are five-door only.

What’s the interior like?

The latest Picanto’s interior has a sporty feel and a welcoming ambience thanks to great design and quality materials.

There’s a tablet-style console rising up from the dash which gives you better access to the controls. The seven-inch touchscreen option makes things even easier and it also comes with Android Auto and CarPlay which is one of the best setups around.

The driving seat is comfortable, with plenty of adjustment so you’ll have no problem seeing out from quite a high driving position. Back-seat passengers will have plenty of space and a good amount of legroom.

The boot isn't the largest, but it beats most rivals at 255 litres, which is big enough for a number of bags. You can increase capacity further by folding the back seats down.

What’s it like to drive?

If you like light controls and easy driving, the Picanto is the car for you. The pedals are ideal for clutch-pumping city driving and the steering is direct and assured. The suspension has been tweaked to improve the car’s ride and comfort.

There's a straightforward line-up of engines with three and four-cylinder petrol units, each one of them providing a great drive. The lower-powered versions are fine for most people and the most powerful 100 hp (horsepower) version is fitted only to the GT-Line.

Is it cost-efficient to buy and run?

The Picanto has slightly higher depreciation than some rivals which is great news if you’re searching for a used one because it'll be great value.

It’s hard to fault the Picanto when it comes to running costs. As you would expect of a city car, its engines are frugal, with all three petrol options approaching 50 mpg economy according to official figures. There’s an automatic version, which still manages to return around 43 mpg.

Insurance costs will be low with group ratings ranging from four to 10, while Kia dealers will offer you a selection of servicing deals to help maintain your car.

How reliable and safe is it?

The Kia brand has done very well in recent reliability surveys, which perhaps explains how the company can afford to protect its cars with an industry-leading seven-year warranty. Maintenance and repair costs are likely to be low.

Higher-spec cars have autonomous emergency braking fitted, which is a system that works to slow the car down to avoid an accident. These versions earn four stars out of five from the Euro NCAP crash test.

Which one is best for you?

There are bargains to be had when buying a used Kia Picanto so it’s worth looking at all specification models. In most cases, you won’t have to pay much more for a touchscreen-equipped 3 model than you might for a more basic car and the advantages are worth having.

Look at one of the more powerful engines if you’re likely to be doing any long-distance driving. It's worth looking out for special editions with extra equipment, such as a touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a rear parking camera.

Like it or not, this is what the typical American household looks like

Autozam Revue, 1991. A badge-engineered version of the Mazda 121 sold through Mazda's Autozam dealership chain in Japan. The Revue came with a roll-back canvas roof, its unconventional, tall, rounded styling and short trunk made it very un-aerodynamic with a Cd of 0.40. After the demise of the Autozam brand it became the Mazda Revue for some markets.

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.

Good dialga she’s getting stronger.

One of my headcannons about ghost pokemon is that they need anchors to remain in Xerneas’s domain. Most ghost pokemon seek out a location or trainer. With proper love and care, they can last for decades to centuries before dispersing back into the aether.

Litwick chose Ingo, probably because he’s fun to menace. (This will totally not have horrific implications in the future.)
