Followed this earlier.

What the f*ck is it? The picture over glamourises it. It's bloody horrific. It was like the devil spawn of a smart car and a fk-awful Chinese clone of a Mini that had then been crashed into the shop front of Halfords.

I assume that's "why", then. For some usages, the smaller the car, the better. smile

You'd kinda hope it's cheap too, though.

as WHY not buy a Smart/Toyota/ridiculous Renault single seated milk float thing.... (unless 50p/conker)


EDIT: it's nearly 12-fking-thousand-pounds.. Thats 2,000 more than a Smart car. and 4,000 more than a Toyota Aygay-thing

It seems that you can drive it at 16, which I suppose will be useful for some people who don't want to ride a moped.

It's not cheap though. Parkers lists it at 12k!

As it's a quadricycle it can be driven on a motorbike licence and from 16 years old.
i.e you don't need a full car licence.

So its for 16yr old kids and people who weren't able to pass a driving test. Sweet mother of Clarkson. ...in other words, avoid them even more than a labour party member. (unless you have a gun and they are in the cross-site.


SO.....what is the difference between a Quadricycle and a car (no, I can't be arsed to google)
