It is a newer 3 speed, but it is still garbage. I can't believe they sold a 3 speed auto in the 2000's. I also think the 4 cylinder is probably a little bit more reliable at those engine RPMs than the 3 cylinder, but whatever. I made it to today. Check. |

How about a Morgan ? The price of those make the Elio look like a bargain. But, you can actually purchase the Morgan. Morgan has been in business for 102 years. Few use the Morgan as a daily driver. http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2011/03/03/morgan-unveils-their-21st-century-trike/ |

$40,000 for a side by side? No thanks. There are plenty more appealing options available, just like the Morgan, but at a lower price (iirc). I like the Elio for the enclosed cockpit. If anyone wants to replicate the idea but actually produce it, I'd be cool with that. |

I'd like the Elio better if it had a rear window. The rear seat would obscure a window. I don't like depending upon side mirrors or a rear camera. I've read that the side mirrors are good enough, but I'd still like a rear view mirror. |

Just some "double hearsay" (what some guy said some guy from Elio told him) from about a year ago...Yep, using the same scale they must have used to come up with the $6,800 price, adding a rear window added would probably increase the price to $6,802. ![]() Depending on side mirrors alone for rearward visibility is definitely something that takes some getting used to. At least the width of the Elio body is considerably narrower than a normal configuration, which would offer a notably better view of whats directly behind using side mirrors alone than a wider car with no direct view to the rear would. |
