Before long, the sheer joy that comes with driving something so simple shooed my shame away and driving was all I could think about again.
The engine sitting behind me at the time is a 1.5-liter four cylinder that does regular duty powering the Honda Fit. It powers the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox linked to a toy-sized H-pattern shifter inside the cramped cockpit.
There isn’t a whole lot to these things and take it from me, they’re an absolute blast to drive, even if the engines aren’t particularly powerful.
