    @jmaris Apparently a C15 only has 13 cm of ground clearance. Forget it.

    Given how lightweight it is, this will shrink even further with load.

    My vehicle has 20.3 cm ground clearance, and still I sometimes hit the ice on the road when I turn into/out of a side street.

    Yes, the C15 has a lot going for it! I love that there is no internal wall ´. But if I can't get out of my parking spot due to low ground clearance and lack of 4WD, what's the point.

    @jmaris Also the 35 litre tank is too small for distances and limited infrastructure in North America. Even with the fuel efficiency of the C15.

    I picked a station wagon for a few reasons: Ground clearance, length, 4WD, fuel consumption (8l/100 km), and the 70 litre tank. I drive little, but when I leave town, I need range.

    Even with that, I got stuck in snow yesterday. Downtown, not in some remote area. It took me two minutes to get out. A C15 would still be stuck there.

    @newstik @jmaris The US does not love the Suzuki Jimny nearly as much as it should. However, it will not fit a cow, let alone three.

    @glent @jmaris Suzuki left the US market about a decade ago, the Canadian market a year later.

    It was unfortunate, because they had the smallest 4WD in the market (or was it AWD?). As I recall, it was called SX4. I took it for a test drive, and it was not good to drive.
