Handling, acceleration, energy efficiency, pedestrian safety, and repair costs are all positively affected by lower curb weight. There's also a strong correlation between better visibility and lower size.
And no, I definitely mean kg.
Good luck to you!
Thanks! I'm content with ICE cars for the near term. Mazda MX-5, Nissan Z, Porsche Boxster, Mini Cooper, Civic Type R, Toyota FRS/Subaru BRZ, etc. all fit the bill.
On the electric side, the e Golf proved that it's possible, and the electric Mini Cooper also fits firmly under 1500 kg. So there is more hope for the future!
