Smart seen with Ontario license plate - they are tiny :

 

They are small and they drive like ***** too.
The auto box is really bad and there is just no power.
One thing it can do really well is save gas.

There is one guy in the UK that did a motorswap in one, he put in a 1000cc suzuki bike engine (165hp).

 

there's a lot of cool customize stuff for smart.
brubus style too.

 

That is true, but what good does that do if it doesn't drive well?

 

i think that lil thing just needs some NAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWZZZZZZZZZZ

 

Too fast to furious mini style??

 

do you want to be in that thing in an accident?

 

The cars are designed to use the other cars crumple (sp?) zone in a crash.
Not good if you hit another Smart or a tree or something similar.

So, just aim for other cars in a crash and you will be fine, most likely.

 

so it's kinda like a big bumper car?

 

That is the best comparison I have heard to date, LOL.

 

I saw it when I went to England couple of years ago and I think it so cool and small enough to park in any limited space.
But, I don't think it will work well in U.S, because of the big SUV's and trucks we got over here. Those soccer moms with the biggest SUV's on the market driving on the highway VS Smart...you know the result.

 

Well, the days of Suburbans and Excursions may be limited. Gas prices are FINALLY having an effect on their sales. Latest figures show large SUV sales down significantly from just a few months ago. This has not happened with other recent gas price hikes. If it reaches $3.00 a gallon ( not out of the qustion in high-price gas areas like CA ) those big SUV's won't have s--- for resale value.

 

When I went to Italy a few years ago I saw a bunch of those. It was cool when my tall cousin's wingspan was about the same of the car. It was weird seeing people unfold as they got out too.
