haha. I think they are cute. I already have a real car but I would love to have a smart car for local trips. I bet I would never drive my gas vehicle if I had a smart car. I have no one to impress.

I'm fine with my car. It sucks down gas like a mofo, but I don't drive too much so that's fine.

don't you mean the UNsmart car? take a serious look at the gas mileage specs on it THEN look at something like an Echo or a Yaris or any other $15k or less subcompact and you'll find you're paying too much, having no room and NOT really getting that good of gas mileage out of the "smart"
Now the euro diesel ones are a different story... the ones here in the US are an absolute joke.

than other compact cars in a similar price range. and i believe they are sold out for 08. you gotta wait till next year to get one. fuckers let me test drive it and everything before they told me that. |

they are releasing a battery only one very soon, but its 35k...
for the money, nothing beats a prius right now.. i think a yaris hybrid would be great if they could keep it under 18k.... |

They are slow, ugly, and if you crash they are really unsafe. I don't understand why so many people like them...

They are a safe car and it's not called a Smart car just because of gas mileage. The smart fortwo comes standard with many active safety features that will introduce you to a whole new set of acronyms and keep you safer in the process. esp® -- One of the standard features on your smart fortwo is something called Electronic Stability Program or esp®. When the esp® sensors indicate a skid or swerving of your car, they automatically control the engine throttle and the Anti-Lock brakes to maintain your present course. Also integral to the esp® safety system is Electronic Brake-Force Distribution Control (EBD), which helps to prevent the rear wheels from over-braking. ABS - Another feature of esp® is the Anti-Lock Brake Systems (ABS). With ABS, you can hit your brakes hard knowing the ABS circuitry will apply and release each brake independently to keep you from skidding regardless of the type of road surface each wheel is on. CBC - When you enter a corner and apply your brakes, the unequal forces at each wheel can result in a skid or a complete "end-around". With Cornering Brake Control (CBC) the inner wheels require less brake force due to less traction. CBC counteracts a potential tendency to swerve by distributing brake forces selectively - even below the threshold of ABS activity. BAS - Avoiding accidents is often measured in inches. Electronic Brake Assist can sense when you have stepped on the brake quickly but have not applied it hard enough to activate the ABS system. It can be the difference in reaction time you need to avoid an accident. ASC and ETC - Acceleration Skid Control (ASC) and Engine Torque Control (ETC) are designed to help the smart fortwo move forward on slippery surfaces. ASC acts much like a differential lock but does it by directing power to the wheel offering optimum traction. ETC provides engine control when driving on slippery surfaces. It "feathers" the throttle on low traction acceleration and limits torque in down shifting applications. HSA - The 5-speed automated manual transmission of the smart fortwo is equipped with Hill Start Assist (HSA) which allows you to pull away on a hill without having to apply the handbrake. As you lift your foot from the brake pedal while sitting stopped on a hill, HSA holds the brakes on for about a second to give you time to move your foot to the accelerator. |

it gets worst mpg than most small diesels, and the environmental impact of the waste from that car is huge. the old batteries alone (that will wear out in a relatively short time) are horrific from a conservation standpoint. it's nothing more than a feel good car for faux green people.

I have one. I love it. Very small when you are outside the car, but actually quite roomy inside. Not for luggage, but for two people around the city it rocks.

I don't really think they are all that smart. The only real benefit seems to be easy parking, otherwise there are cars that outclass it in nearly every category. The only one they had that made any sense was the diesel version, but it hasn't been available in North America for some time now.

This is why America is IN this predicament to begin with. They see a small car and think it is unsafe and they get scared.

That's more like a car suit than an actual car. There is no way I could ever squeeze myself into one of those things and even pretend to be comfortable. Gas mileage or not, there's something to be said for being comfortable in your own car.

That video is pretty impressive, and I was just thinking about it the other day. I saw a minivan the other day that was in a crash with an suv on the strip (so they couldn't have been going too fast), and both cars looked like they'd been in much more serious accidents. I'd feel safer in a smart than either of the two vehicles that I saw, because neither of them held up very well. |

Ya, I don't fit into sports cars either. I've got a Titan right now and I fit in there perfectly, so I'll just stick with that.

Nice little cars, and I see them everywhere.
Here they also have the mercedes B200 series. A little bit bigger than the 4 dr smart, and about the same MPG.
