Wouldn't know about fun to drive, since I've never been inside one, but it really didn't impress me as particularly small compared to other cars on the road around here in Texas. Cars, mind you. We do have more'n anybody's fair share of Big Trucks. But actual cars -- the MiniSpoofer doesn't seem much smaller than average size to me. Without numbers, though, I'm just talking about my impression of it. I will admit that aside from the scale, it looks quite a bit like the original. ERN
