As the owner of both an SUV (Jeep Cherokee) and a Midget, I can assure
you that the Midget will not do well off road in my area. I can take the
dogs out in the desert for a good run with no danger of them getting hit
by a car on the road or straying onto private property and getting shot
by a rancher. Then I can load my jon boat on top, put my fishing and
camping gear and the boat motor in the back and head for the lake. Thus,
the sport aspect is covered.
I can drive it out in the field, attaching a cable to the hitch and
spend the day straightening fence posts and using the Jeep to hold them
straight while I pour cement in the gaps, then go to the farm store and
load up a bale of hay, a few bags of feed, and some fence posts. This
covers the utility aspect.
Later I can drive to work in air conditioned comfort, knowing I can
easily drive around any trains that are frogging the entrance to the
yard by accessing frontage roads that come standard with pot holes deep
enough to bury a locomotive.
For sheer pleasure, I drive the Midget on the twistiest roads I can
find, taking 30 MPH corners at 70+. That is what a true sports car was
designed for.
