flu: relability might be an issue. I certainly wasn’t impressed with the quality of the interiors of the two Fiat 500s I had as rentals. One had a broken armrest at 6000 miles. The other had a broken gas cap at 10,000 miles.

But an electric drivetrain should be simple enough to be reliable.

As far as crash safety, they’re nimble little cars. I’d rather avoid a crash than survive one. And besides, I ride motorcycles, so I’m not a fearful little kathoey.
