Aww, looks like you have to pull it backwards to make it go.

That's base version, this one has a rubber band.

By all accounts. We're doing the test drive on Sat, and then finalising.

And you are wise enough to adhere to the happy wife happy life paradigm!

Absolutely!
I am thrice blessed, she puts up with me, she has good taste in silly cars ( including Mustangs)
and she loves good food and wine. She's the perfect match.

Picked it up yesterday and drove 220kms back home. It's like a damn go kart. It's nice and small and gives you extra road room to throw it around. It also makes great noises for a 4 cyl.
The robotised manual is the nearest you'll get to a manual shift. You have to finesse the throttle to make smooth shifts, so there's driver involvement needed.
It also has a strange sport mode. Hit sport when you're at a steady speed and it accelerates, I discovered that sport mode gives it another 20nm torque in the low and mid range, no extra power up top.
But, 200 or 300 kms is about as far as you'd won't to drive it. It's not the most relaxing cruiser.
Tracey drove it last night to get her hair done and when she got home she was fizzing "I love that car"

I believe that’s a myth some early version of The View concocted and they, management, continue to perpetuate aka Urban Legend
