When did this go electric? I thought the “Smart” car was gas powered??? The gas version is a joke. My Mercury Milan with a 5 speed and 4 cylinder gets better highway mileage thet the Smart car. I want a 2010 Ford Fusion or Milan with 4 cylinder and a 6 speed manual gearbox. I would guess it gets 40 to 42 mpg highway.
The Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan also has a great safety rating.
Stupid Smart Cars, they look like they are going to flip sitting still.
One problem with the Smart is how they introduced it in the US. In Europe it’s a 600cc turbo insted of a one-liter non-turbo here. There gas is about 50mpg, diesel about 80mpg. That’s combined mileage. Highway mileage is mostly about the aerodynamics of the car, and the smart isn’t the slipperiest mainly due to how short it is. In the city where the mass of the car matters most, the Smart gets a big help from being much lighter than almost every other car on the road.
A good car!
