Durack is in a unique position with the Chipmunk. The Microcar segment rules the everyone else market. While the U2570 is the worst vehicle in the segment. Where does the Chipmunk fit between these two extremes? Should consumer celebrate Durack's new Microcar? Or is this just another underachieving vehicle in the Microcar segment?

The first stop for the Durack Chipmunk was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Microcar is built for performance. Durack cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 34 hp @ 1484RPMs 905 cc Radial5 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 85 mph in an impressive 26.476s 0 to 60 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 98 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. The good thing about the Durack Chipmunk is that it's actually handles better than your typical Microcar. Its cornering abilities surpass the norm. So if it's weaving through cars in traffic or trying to do a lap around our track. The Chipmunk is a good choice.

Durack's interior design stands out among its peers. The material selection is fantastic, each seat is crafted by fine artisans, and the ride quality outstanding. Chipmunk is also full of features other drivers can only dream about. You will not want to leave the inside of this vehicle.

Basketball players and sumo wrestlers should probably avoid the Durack Chipmunk. If not for any other reason, the 13 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space is slightly cramp for even an average sized person such as my self.

The manufacturing process of Durack has really found something. The Chipmunk seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.

If there was one vehicle I believe would be able to hit 1,000,000 miles easily it would be the Durack Chipmunk. This vehicle was designed for dependability in mind.

Are gas prices too high now? What will they be like 10 years from now? What about 50 years from now? Does it matter? If you drive a Durack Chipmunk it doesn't. The Chipmunk only uses 57.5 mpg. Which means it rarely needs refuelling and when it does, it's cheap!

In some sense the Durack Chipmunk reminds us of an over protective parent. One that wraps you in damage proof forcefield that prevents all interaction with the outside world. While the Chipmunk isn't that safe. It is still quite comforting to know that nothing can hurt you.

When it comes to Microcar there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Durack Chipmunk the best Microcar I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
