The MPG is only 40-ish, less than the prius and not much more than the Fit.  Either of those cars would be a far better, more practical car.

If it got 50-70 MPG, then maybe I'd understand, but not at 40 MPG.

more FIT is sporty and nimble, no just efficient -- VERY versatile inside, too <NT> shaunotter New
th_up another vote for the Fit...Riot Magnum fits inside for solo missions, MPG very good boatiferous1 New
th_up The boat and the mattress are a big plus. Sounds good for for lots of other practical chores like going to Home Depot. <NT> kevo New

note How long of a boat do you think that one could squeeze into it? Riv New
note I can easily fit my Mega Surf kayak in there 8" even.  Pretty sure another 4-5 inches would be no problem. geoffcj New
