I've see one pass me last week. I kind of like it. I wouldn't mind having it. I actually like little cars.

Cute and chic but they should get 70MPG, not 35.

One of my teachers/technicians that i was talkin to made a very good point.
He was saying why would you get a small deathtrap car like this, when you can get a roomier honda or toyota that gets the same gas mileage?
and i agree with him, i would never buy one of these because of the fact that it looks extremely unsafe, and it probably is.
im guessing it has to do with the looks? even though imo it doesnt look that good. idk, maybe someone can explain.

I agree with this post 100%. The smart is overpriced, overhyped garbage

Odds are pretty high that if you're in an accident...the other car is going to be bigger than the Smart. I'd rather be in the bigger car.

That E-Class was bringing it, but it doesn't turn out like you'd expect. The Smart eats up almost the whole hood on it!
