Short turning radius  
Easy to park  
Fun to drive  
Fit thru nearly anywhere

Ride is like an empty dump truck  
Exposed to weather without doors  
Lead acid batteries are constant maintenance items  
Drum brakes so-so for stopping (you can add disc brakes)  
Rattles

Unlike the 4-seater with an adjustable driver seat on a slider, the 2-seaters have non-adjustable seats.

At 6’3” my right leg/knee is torqued to the left alternating between accelerator and brake pedals in the 2-seater. Really uncomfortable so I’m good for no more than 15 minutes really.

No such problem with my 4-seater with the seat position pushed back.
