The correct term is "submersible connector". Weatherpack is a brand name.

you can do a little more than that

The Renault Le Car rocked three lugs, and many (but not all) Smarts do too.

This is the perfect YouTube video, do it!
Ur right, but they thwart attempts to get home without clutch control, hehe...
You're assuming North Americans KNOW HOW TO- or aren't too lazy to drive manual cars... Me, I'd be up for one
. You know me, Ecotourist, I like minimalist...I lived in Calgary, AB in the 90's, and the most depressing thing related to the business trips I'd take was riding in decrepit Chevy Impala cabs from Calgary International to home... seats that wouldn't even hold you square with the world (with failed supports), etc...
And in the case of a certain 1998 Nissan Frontier that I own, the little rubber piece in the clutch pedal lever that pushes the interlock switch plunger down breaks and falls out, so it won't start. Took me a couple of minutes to figure out what happened, then I got it started by pushing the plunger and turning the key at the same time. Fixed it with a "Dorman rubber bumper".
Just use the turbo version of the same Renault 3cyl engine
South Africa.
This is actually an endearing little car, the more I drive it the more I like it. Android Auto is a nice touch in such a cheap car, even if the resolution is low. It turns over 4k at 75 MPG in 5th gear , it only has one floor mat and it's bolted to the bottom of the seat! Also, the cable for the hatch release is just taped to the floor...

I adapted fine during our year in New Zealand - but I'm a southpaw, so perhaps that helped.
I test-drove a Mitsu van with a 5-speed column shift - that was different. I liked it, but my wife said No.
You WANT these cars on the market. More choices creates downward pressure on the prices of alternatives.
A perfect car for many though a semi's lug nuts 9" from your ear can be disconcerting.
Re right hand drive and left hand shifting: I was AMAZED how immediately I adapted to both......then I hit that lady in Australia!
Drove all over Sweden in a 3 cyl. Subaru. It worked. As I recall it was a J-10 (or some such); I assume it would've been a Justy in No. America.
The saddest part of India making wee cars is that mankind needs more public transportation not more traffic.

You have to unbolt the seat to remove the floor mat? I wonder if that is a fleet vehicle designation so renters are less likely to steal the mat.This is actually an endearing little car, the more I drive it the more I like it.

You’re right, I’d kill myself if I had to drive something like this.All you naysayers know that you would kill to have that little car over here…….myself included.
As a daily yes. I’m saying at $4.00 per gallon and climbing I could knock around locally in it quite easily and let my 15 mpg truck sit.You’re right, I’d kill myself if I had to drive something like this.
It's important to not think of this as being a replacement for all vehicles. Many of us have more than 1 vehicle. Do we really need 2 very similar or even identical vehicles?
For my family the Tesla is the perfect local car - and maybe a good road car too - we'll see.
We also have the Accord. It's a perfect back up car. And the extra car on those days when we need more than 1 car. Also a great car for hauling Xmas trees and other debris generating cargo. And if the Tesla isn't good on long trips the Accord will resume duties as the family road car.
We don't need a 3rd vehicle now but if we had a teenager at home (with the inevitable debate over who is driving what today) a car like this might be just the thing. I was poor during my student days and would have welcomed a cheap, reliable and fun to drive car. And some of our neighbours are older and past the point of enjoying driving and now only own a low cost grocery getter.
For many families something like this would be an excellent third, second or even first car.

That would depend on the public you have to share with. Places like Japan which are civilized have excellent mass transit. Places like the US, well I will just say that nobody wants the adventure that will follow. Passengers smoking meth and shooting up on buses has pushed the normal passenger back to their automobile. Then you have the criminal elements.
Maybe someday.
