Can the car be daily driven?
- No. IMO the car was wasn’t made to be driven every day. If you do, you’re a superman.
I heard it doesn't have A/C?
- It comes with no A/C. There are only two options for the Z. A/C and a crappy radio.
What kind of gas mileage?
9 mpg if I drive it. 9 mpg if my grandmother drives it.
What is the up keep cost, like brakes and oil?
