Helluva deal. 3 year lease. 0 down and $99.00 a month. I prepaid the lease for $4012.00 total so there was no interest added. My Panamera gets about 12mpg, and my AMG does 14mpg. IfI drive this to the office twice a week it pays for itself at today's gas prices. And it's actually fun to drive.

I think there's a lot of misconception about the size of a car and the amount of room for tall people. Smaller cars are generally designed with this in mind. One of the cars I had the most leg room in was a Miata, and I'm 6'4.
You have a garage that has cars most people envy (except maybe Bill Marriott, his garageS are sick), and your smart car is what is getting you wet. You're going too LA Minte.

There is something very satifying about driving past a gas station and not stopping.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
Nice new Smart car dude - As for the above video I didn't watch but from memory its a smart car hitting a non deformable concrete barrier at 80mph executed by the show 5th Gear in the UK.
NCAP in Europe, the governing body for the testing and classification of the saftey of cars doesn't actually crash cars over 40mph in any non deformable test as its considered non survivable. I was amazed at how the smart stood up, as I recall you could still open one of the doors. There are far many cars on the road that are way more of a death trap than a smart, I'd drive one anyday, and as you say driving past gas stations is fun, filling up is a ball ache.
I dig small cars and good gas mileage as I drive a honda 27-32 mpg normally but have pushed 40 on expressway with cruise on, that one just a little too small for my comfort. Around town no problem but getting on expressway etc... I'd pass. Your dough so if it makes ya happy all that matters
i have been driving a Smart in the past a couple of times and while it's not my thing personally, everyone who keeps saying they won't fit in or they're unsafe has no clue.

my wife has a 09 smart that i drive all the time,its okay i just dont like the transmission. Its very slow to react if you want to accelerate when your in automatic mode especially after you have just slowed down and want to accelerate again.

Wow, first Minte thread ever where I feel smug self satisfaction and not guilt at not working hard enough.
Thx, dude!
PS - I have a giant pick up truck from the 80's that rules.
Don't listen to the haters especially those who call them death traps. They have to pass the same crash tests as all other cars, and like all modern cars are made to crumple to disperse as much energy as possible away from the driver in a crash. You dun good.

I just bought a 1990 Chevy Stepside I'm restoring. It's a blast. Jacked up, 33 inch tires... Taking my kid to school in the morning now means "over the river and through the woods" - no roads required.
No.. I prepaid the entire 36 month lease for $4200.
That is actually a pretty good deal. $116 a month total cost for a new vehicle that gets good gas mileage. No repair bills, cheap on gas, park anywhere. How many spend thousands for a used car that needs $4,200 worth of work in the first year?
How did you get the $0 down? On the site I see the $99 lease but with $999 down.
Thanks,
I got an email a couple of days ago from the Benz dealership where I bought my AMG. They offered a $1000 loyalty bonus on the Smart. All I had to do was take along the registration for it and a check for the rest.
