Looking tough on some flush J-Line wheels.

dancar_05Killing it with a Garson aero kit, VIP style Work Euroline wheels and air suspension.

hotbox009_02This one is looking great with mesh wheels and roof rack.

How can you dislike a car that has space, comfortability, good gas mileage, and good looks to back it up with a lot of tuning potential?  It is hard to hate on small cars, as Andy promotes at his blog, http://www.subcompactculture.com/.


It is updated quite often and is a great perspective on the subcompact car world.  News, stats, and informative writeups are to be found here.  International subcompact news is covered here, as well, along with updates to the writers personal Suzuki SX4.
