What does this な at the end of the sentence mean?


> 「タッタッタ」って車に乗ってみたい **な** 。

I'd translate the sentence like this:

> I want to enter/ride in a car that makes 'tatata'.

I don't think it's the colloquial version of ような, so I think it is みたい plus な.
But in this case, I don't know what it supposes to mean.

What is this な at the end?




This `な` is different from `な` used in orders (e.g. `行きな` or `行くな`) and is
usually considered to be a stronger/masculine version of `ね` (but with a more
wishful nuance). Sometimes it also occurs in the emphasized version `なあ`,
similar to `ねえ`.

Probably the most used expression with it is `いいな(あ)`, expressing envy over
something which happened to someone else but you'd like to experience
yourself.
