In the early 80’s I bought a Hyundai Pony Pickup to find out the pony was basically made on the Marina tooling! Load space of 1/2 ton, if you loaded the back end, the steering would be frighteningly light!
Remember the humble beginnings of the Hyundai Pony a Good little Car for the money.

Can you imagine touring Italy for a month in Spring in that? I bet you could park it anywhere!
Absolutely how wonderful that would be.
Back in 2010 I took my first 4200 to the Italian Lakes and got a very similar response.
Hotel owner asked me to park it on the front lawn Infront of his Terrace in Bavino on Lake Maggiore and rev it up for the guests :)
