I really don’t get the Smart Car, but if people like it, they should feel free to buy it.

I guess it’s a pretty cheap car, but not as cheap as it looks like it should be.

My Prius acts like a normal car, average in acceleration and handling, and gets much better gas mileage than the Smart Car. But my Prius did cost more than a Smart car.

My insurance agent calls them ‘coffins on wheels’. :) I think Ill just stick w/ my non-politically correct PU.

EPA lists this thing at 36 mpg.

We got 40 in a Subaru Outback Sport and it carries a lot more stuff and has AWD.

Right. Not as cheap as it ought to be. The Smart is basically an overpriced toy. Any number of "real" cars (e.g., Toyota Yaris, Ford Focus, Chevy Aveo) are actually much more practical and less expensive to own.

My friend loves his SMART car, but it is not for big highway driving.
