Doug DeMuro's review of the 2002 Ford Think Neighbor delivers a mixed assessment (42/100), praising its charming design—including Mustang wheels and Shelby badging applied in good taste—and practical economy, with a 30-mile range that's well-suited for campus and office park driving via standard household outlet charging. However, the vehicle suffers from severe limitations, including a top speed capped at 25 mph, unforgiving brakes despite its light weight, and critically weak structural protection from light metal A and B-pillars that provide no safety in accidents. DeMuro's sentiment captures the paradox: the Think Neighbor is "pretty perfect for what it does" but carries the sobering caveat that occupants would face serious danger in any collision. This vehicle is designed exclusively for short-distance commuting in controlled environments where crash risk is minimal.
