WSJ Writer Spends a Week in a $15,000 Microcar

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 and reported a mixed experience: genuine joy at its charm and practicality, guilt over its limitations, and frustration from other drivers, including road rage sparked by its top speed of just 25 mph. The piece explores whether tiny, cheap vehicles can realistically fit into everyday American car culture.

Why now: The first-person test of an unusually cheap, slow microcar offers an entertaining and provocative take on alternative city transportation.
