Fuel economy is an estimated 19 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway. But the car still sounds like a bread truck, and the droning exhaust can be fatiguing on extended drives. The top fits snugly and works decently, although it must be operated manually from outside the car. It's got a glass window instead of a cheap plastic one. There's room for a few small soft pieces of luggage if the top is up, but that's it.
Seats are supportive.
My test car's interior had a rakish splash of yellow metal across the dashboard, which is filled with gauges and easily reached smooth controls. Standard are items such as air conditioning, power windows and locks and a decent sound system. But the retro-style tachometer clamped on the steering column is hard to read and often is filled with reflections. The Prowler's power steering feels a tad slow, but is decently quick. The low-slung car's handling is excellent, and the easily modulated brake pedal helps it stop quickly on dry roads.
