I remember watching Jeremy Clarkson test out one of the earlier Atom cars - and seeing his cheeks flapping away due to wind / G forces..... it looked like a REALLY fun car.
the downside to the Atom is that what you are really buying is a toy or a total track car. I know you can license them and drive them on the street - but c'mon - would you really want to drive that around?
Hot? Cold? Rain? - not enough storage space to put a 6 pack... it's just such an impractical vehicle. Fun yes, realistic for most of us - NO.
I'd much rather have a boxster - that can also serve as a daily driver, go out to dinner in, enjoy twisties on the weekend, or take to a track. The boxster cna do it all - albeit it's not as focused.
if you are in the market for a track toy - this would probably be a BLAST.
i wouldnt' want to take it on the street due to safety.
if you want the same "fun factor" and are n a budget, just go buy a crotch rocket. Far cheaper, and pretty much the same thing on two wheels. if you get hit by a car on the bike you are dead. if you get hit ba car in the atom you are probably dead too.
