I saw a bloke driving one with a plastic woman in the passenger seat, the poor chap had a very surly look on his face.
Shame Nissan killed it at birth with 50 pink ones as part of their 'marketing' drive. Guaranteed anyone with even 1% doubt of their sexuality couldn't buy it so hardly anyone did. I'd get a black or red one lowered, great fun, superb roof, huge boot.
Style and street cred. are funny things, street cred. disappears when people try too hard. I wouldn't fancy a Prius though, as people would think I support windmills and the global warming scam. support of which costs us all a great deal of money.
As a child growing up, there was just one car I would never want to be seen in (and this coming from someone that loves VW Beetles, and had a string of British Leyland's finest abominations as family transport). The Citroen 2 CV- looked awful, old fashioned, sounded like a lawnmower, tyres skinnier than my bike, and seriously seriously slow.
A colleague of my mum had one. The day came when I had no choice but to accept a lift home in it. Oh the shame.
But I absolutely LOVED it- yes it was slow, but it sounded quirky as you had to reve the nuts off it to get anywhere; the body roll was hilarious in a "We're all going to die" kind of way; but the ride quality was unlike anything else I've ever been in. So my mind was changed- here was an extremely basic, slow, no frills car for getting from A to B. And it was FUN!
There are other threads on here about which cars you'd buy if you won big on the lottery- there would be room for a Citroen Mehari in my collection, next to far more "desirable" cars. Achingly cool in my humble opinion.

KIA.
You have to be kidding me. Kia makes more sense these days than Vauxhall or Ford for a basic run-around.They look better than many these days, and go pretty well too, a neighbour has one and it looks good, very comfortable, never breaks down and looks better than most of the other cars in the street.
