Gran Turismo 4[]
The car, like many microcars, is underpowered, sporting a 1.3 liter straight-four producing 59 hp at 5,000rpm. The car is front-engined and front-wheel-drive. Despite the car's statistics, it is incredibly light, weighing only 2,164 pounds (965 kilograms). The car's acceleration times are slow, and an asking price of 12,920 credits new is fairly high when there are a multitude of much more powerful, competitive used vehicles available at half the price..
