2. They can be INVISIBLE-- they're small, short and don't have a lot of mass. Semi's flat-out just don't see them. So, drive very, very defensively. My best friend got run off the road in one-- the other driver just didn't see her. She got a SUV shortly thereafter.
3. Overall, they're a flat-out hoot to drive. My wife's "fun sized" and her RDX is gathering dust as the RF has more or less become her primary car.

Im 6' and my knee is pretty much against the wheel; not necessarily uncomfortable, just a tad tight. I'll probably ditch the stock arm rest for a door pull, and that will give me some extra room for my left leg. But +1 on the invisibility aspect of it. I do a couple thousand miles a month on a motorcycle, so I'm used to defensive driving, but if you go at it with the "No one can see me" attitude you'll do just fine. The size is 50% of the fun of the car!
