Ive owned one for a few years now, and...
Yes, they are VERY comfortable, i once did 500 miles in a weekend without as much as a bit of cramp/numbness or DVT.
They are very simple to drive. You have the option of fully automatic (with a variable gear change map, depending on how quick you want to go) or you can use the 6 speed trip-tronic gearbox at the press of a button.
Pros. The cheapest car you can run. People will let you out of side streets. You can park in the smallest of spaces. if you et bored you can change the body pannels and some interiour trim. They are very spacious inside, you will not feel cramped up in one. You are exempt from the congestion charge. You can make the boast that you are driving a 2 seat, rear wheel drive, rear engined, turbocharged Merc coupe. You cannot get a cheaper car that has multi-mode ABS linked into Bosch ESP 4.1 and has 2 stage air-con. You can treat yourself to an x-gauge.
Cons.... erm.... pass.

pros is they are fuel efficient and allot more environment friendly, also fun to drive around the city for small errands and getting from point a to b. and easy to find a parking spot since they take little room
cons is if you are planning to buy anything other than a few bags of groceries or anything bulky you do not have the carrying capability, also they are not made for a weekend trips (luggage ) other than 2 over night bags , but i know that there is a 4 passenger version in Europe in the planning stages

I drove the Electric two-seater car and found it quite okay from comfort point of view. The only trouble was the frequent recharging of the Battery and the relatively low speed.

I've had them as holiday rentals. + points Cheap on fuel, easy to park, reasonably nippy, and seem quite solid and safe. - points luggage space limited to shopping only, gearchange very slow and automatic clutch poor at crawling speeds, no option for extra passengers.
4/10 could do better

Surprisingly, they are fairly roomy and are great little cars to drive for those short trips. Easy to park, fairly smooth ride.. I was impressed when I tried one...

My boss has one and when she gets to work she puts it in her handbag.
