I tried driving one of these back in 2004/2005. I liked it a lot but I couldn't get in or out without catching my feet on the door/inner fender panel. I'm 6'1" and 200 pounds, so not exactly the biggest guy. My inseam is 32".
Loved the w2ay it drove and revved. I was so close to buying it though. If I took my shoes off before and after entering it, I could do it without catching my foot.
