have gotten 315,000 pesos burning a hole right through your pocket. Let me show you two cars you can get here and not in the US.

You can get a Twizy, which as far as I know is not sold elsewhere in North America or you can get a five cylinder 2018 Jetta

Which is funny because we make the new Jetta that is already featured in the VW US site, but do we feature the new car here?

No.

EDIT: Canada does have the Twizy available in Quebec.

$16,826.39 US seems a bit much for a mobility scooter, no?

We have the Twizy in Canada (specifically Quebec) on a very limited basis, though no idea if this program is still going on or not (article is 2 years old)!

It is too expensive. If it was 100,000 pesos I would perhaps see a market for it but it’s too wide to fit between cars so its use as a motorcycle type car is diminished.

Plus no windows? who’s this car for? Muggers are gonna be all over ya!

I think Mexico doesn’t subside electric cars yet, so we end up with this abomination that will sell exactly four.

For a marketing agency to wrap them in the colour of some drone manufacturer or something...Gotta pander to millenials!

You embed got Kinja’d

I looked for it in Canada, no real website for Renault... just some sort of European car leasing (in Europe)

I really wanted to like this vehicle but I’ve spoken extensively with a local who’s imported one. Slow (at least the low output version), terrible brakes, and hits potholes like it has no suspension at all. He has NOTHING good to say about the driving experience.

They’re sold legally in the country of Quebec.

It regards to car sales it looks so. Maybe it’s just not on the books yet. :-)x

You can’t buy the Twizzy, but I think you can rent them by the hour in cities like San Francisco.

But why would you buy it when you can have a perfectly reasonable Renault Sandero for about half that?

I’d buy a Twizy for the sole purpose of turning it into an absolute nightmare for any sane electrical engineer a Twizy F1 ripoff.

True. However... I suspect that, despite it’s size, the Twizy is the safe car.

I think that if you really wanted to do that, you could buy a crashed Tesla model S, fabricate a tubular chasis around the battery, and profit

Paralell up the motors and make a P100Q.

Goes from “really fast tiny car” to “I might be committing suicide if I press the throttle a little too hard”

I know, right? That being said, in order to legally allow them here, they had to be limited to 40kph apparently and homologated for the few that are here as low-seed vehicles.

These cars that are cheap there are so cheap to me. Can’t even fathom a 4-door mid-size sedan for less than a Fiesta.
