A car without doors or even a rear window is going to have to be very very cheap.

We saw that going around the track at Ecovelocity last year , very cool and I'd love to have one....but price tag is rumoured to be around £6-7k

I am 90% sure of getting one of these.

I like the look of it, but at £7,000 it's a bit expensive, especially for a car that can only do 62 miles on a charge.

Not sure - thinking about it an electric bike can be a good £1.5k so £6k is probably not bad. Just such short range!

My commute is less than 10 miles round trip!

I reckon proper urban driving that this will be getting on for 3.5 hours of motoring. So maybe 67 (70 with retentive braking) isn't too bad.

I did the math on this and the Twizy is an utter fail.
Check the battery leasing.
'Charge battery for £3 for 60 miles of driving' but also 'Battery rental for £40 a month' (works out... £1440 for 3 years @ 4'500 miles per year... about 11p a mile based on their figures) so that balances out at about £9 for 60 miles.
