Journalist Tests a $15,000 Microcar for a Week
Original: My Week in a $15,000 Microcar: Joy, Guilt and 25-MPH Road Rage
A Wall Street Journal writer spent a week driving a $15,000 microcar, describing the experience as a mix of delight and embarrassment. The tiny vehicle's top speed of around 25 mph drew impatience from other drivers, while its affordability and low environmental footprint raised questions about the trade-offs of downsizing. The piece captures growing interest in minimal, city-friendly cars.
Why now: Microcars are drawing attention as affordable, sustainable alternatives amid rising car costs and urban congestion.
