The microcars over here in Finland are often brands Aixam or Ligier or, well, Microcar. These are French manufacturers. Top speed is limited to 45 km/h, and they are smaller than Trabant, but otherwise they resemble it in many respects.
They cost as much as small real cars, and are vastly poorer in practically all respects (serviceability, fuel consumption, driveability, equipment, collision safety). Finnish government plans to enable "normal" cars to be equipped with speed limiters to 60 km/h so that a 16-year-old with a minicar license can drive them. EU is not happy.
