These days happened to take a closer look at an i10 from Hyundai. Heavens, has it grown. Small cars are either disappearing or growing, such as the Smart. Where is that supposed to lead if prices still grow faster than cars?

There are said to be people who are seriously betting that at some point prices will fall so far that they too will at least be able to afford a new car with a combustion engine. Is that realistic and, even worse, the point of it all?

A whole industry in the Far East is probably smirking. If they weren't struggling with the renewed flare-up of Corona, they would probably be even more strongly represented in this country. In any case, there are models, under the DYO discussed here still the Pio above it the Beo, but with a clear distance.

This means that the DYO is already the car with the improved equipment, e.g. LED headlights. Yes, you still miss some things, e.g. at least some adjustment of the steering wheel. There is also the question of whether the car is also available with dark imitation leather or even fabric. For the price it is otherwise very well equipped.

A large luggage compartment compared to the old Smart, although it was also 27 cm shorter. The significantly larger battery capacity that is probably also associated with this is a blessing, the range is hard to believe, but the charging capacity is still underwhelming. DC is slower than some AC stations in companies.

Of course, no long tour on the motorway makes sense with this car, although one could just about assert oneself against vices. But it would have to be brand new highways for the car to deflect for long distances. Merging into the truck lane would also make sense because of the wind noise.
