Cheers!
No fold-down is definitely a minus for such a small car.

The NYT article reminds me of the KIA (aka Hyundai) lot. As I remarked elsewhere, I think 70% of the Spectras were sticks. A lot were LX models, which have roll-down windows as standard.
Don't see those often, I suggested they list them as an extra-cost "retro" option, charge an extra hunnert bucks or so for them.
It would work.
