Aixam Car Reviews

While not yet reaching popularity in the United States the French made line of cars known as Aixam is taking Europe by storm. These cars, known as mini cars are also considered to be half frame cars having an alloy frame that results in a light weight frame that allows the car to zip in and out of traffic at a top speed of 60 to 90 miles per hour.

Of course there are Aixam cars that also travel at much slower speeds in fact some Aixam models travel at such slow speeds that you don't even need a license to drive one. The license less models are replacing bicycles and motorcycles as the economy method of travel in parts of Europe. Made with a diesel motor to be more fuel efficient these cars are France's answer to a car industry which for too long made large cars that are both expensive to purchase and expensive to keep fueled up and ready to go.

While some models of this unique car look like miniature vans the scouty is a sportier model that even comes as a convertible. Most versions of these cars hold up to four average size people and cost about ¼ of the cars normally seen in Today's market.

While these cars look a little too small to feel real, they seem to be the wave of the future putting those full size cars to shame with both their size and their fuel efficiency. It is believed that even the United

States that has so long clung to their large cars, SUV's and van's will soon be looking to this make of car and other makes like them as the cars of the future.

However, Americans may find getting used to an Aixam a bit of a challenge as these small cars normally do not get up to the speeds that normal American made cars do and they simply lack the space that most Americans are used to. However, the technology and the innovation of these cars are sound and these cars may easily become the darlings of the retired and those simply looking for something a little different and better on fuel.

One thing is certain with today's economy and the number of people who are trying to trade in their large gas hogging cars for something a little less expensive to drive the Aixam cars are going to hold some appeal.

There is definitely a market for these cars in this country but whether or not they will hold vast appeal to American public remains to be seen.
