Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for the grand unveiling of the cheapest new car in America! The Fast Lane Car proudly presents an electric vehicle that they managed to snag for a mere $5,000. But before you get too excited, let me warn you that this car is not without its flaws. In fact, it has earned the dubious honor of being the least reliable car in America, having left the team stranded not once, but twice in the span of just two weeks. Ouch!

Now, let's talk about performance. Is this budget-friendly electric car a speed demon? Well, our intrepid hosts decided to put it to the test and enlisted the help of two other slow vehicles for a drag race. On one side, we have a Fiat 500, and on the other, a Citroen 2CV. These European classics may not be known for their speed, but they certainly have character.

As the race begins, the electric car takes off like a rocket, thanks to its instant electric torque. But hold your horses! The Fiat and the Citroen, with their vintage charm, manage to catch up and leave the electric car in their dust. It seems that the electric car's limitations become apparent as the race progresses.

And here's the kicker: the electric car is actually limited to a top speed of 35 mph! Yes, you heard that right. It's not even considered a proper car by some standards. It falls into the category of a neighborhood electric vehicle, which explains its lackluster performance in the race. So, despite its low price tag, it seems that this electric car may not be the best choice for those seeking speed and reliability.

In conclusion, while the cheapest new car in America may have its appeal, it falls short in terms of reliability and performance. The Fiat and the Citroen, with their quirks and charm, managed to outshine the electric car in the race. So, if you're in the market for a budget-friendly ride, you might want to think twice before jumping on the electric bandwagon.
