One of my exes considered that model to be her dream car, never would I be seen behind the wheel of one of those
I see your point though, hmmm... Ultimately I don't want to spend too much, and an ATV is probably going to be more economical to run and insure
Every trip up to 30 miles I just get on my bike. At an average of 20 mph, it doesn't take too much time either.
I have a nice Raleigh AT-20 which I ride recreationally, however you live in flatland, I have a silly amount of hills and valleys to negotiate, not to mention unfriendly traffic.
Or you could put a small engine on a bicycle, they dont chew through petrol and are worth and quite a lot cheaper.
I considered this option but it all feels a bit flimsy and a number of people have been killed locally riding them, I'd feel much less silly riding an ATV.
