WHY THIS TINY MICROCAR IS SO MUCH FUN! 1959 BMW ISETTA 300

EV Channels Review

This video offers an engaging and enthusiastic review of the 1959 BMW Isetta 300, highlighting its unique charm and historical significance. The reviewer praises the Isetta's ability to provide fun despite its tiny 298cc engine and four-speed gearbox, noting its surprising stability and decent brakes, especially for a single-rear-wheel vehicle. The iconic front-opening door and the surprisingly functional interior, including a heater and sliding windows, are also points of appreciation. However, the reviewer points out the limitations, such as poor visibility around corners, a challenging gearbox, and a potentially faulty wiper. Despite these quirks, the Isetta is presented as a delightful, albeit niche, classic car, particularly for urban environments, and a fascinating precursor to modern micro-EVs like the Microlino.
