It's basically a "warm hatch" (FWD - "traction" in the description - with a small turbocharged peugeot engine), but with the body shell of a sports car.

For that price you can get a real pocket rocket e.g. VW Up GTI - 115HP (VW Hp, not Peugeot Hp...) and less than 1000kg, whereas this is more than 1200. But nothing with a bigger size

I confirm 16k is about half the cost of the Toyota/Subaru (before you consider the performance and emissions tax), they are clearly semi-luxury cars here.

+ Reading through the details, I see they have not passed Euro NCAP certification. Now I understand their reasons (cost), but I would be very very reluctant to sit in one
