I bought this car and I've already put tons of miles onto it. I live in Florida, on the beach, and also in Chicago. I had the Cruiser down in Florida and I loved it. It handled the salty air well and the humidity didn't seem to bother the car, or under the hood. The turning ratio could be a little bit better. All my friends thought that it was a "girly car" because it doesn't have a ton of horsepower, but since it is so lightweight, the pickup is pretty good.
Then I went up to Chicago in the winter and not only froze my butt off, but also the brake fluid. In Chicago, the winters are usually harsh, although this past one wasn't much at all. There were some snowy days and icy roads, and trust me, THE CAR DID NOT LIKE THE SNOW ONE BIT. The only drawback to this car is since it is lightweight, it has almost no control on the ice. If you live in a place that has icy roads, or lots of snow, I would not recommend this car if it will be your only mode of transportation. If you live in a warm place, or you can afford to put it in storage during the winter, I highly recommend this to you. Go Cruise!
