Butt-ugly scary.

Scary to your bank account. Shoddily built by drunken East Germans. Replacement parts so pricey you'd think they were all gold-plated.

Deathtrap scary.

I actually like the Smart Car, and if I ever moved back to a large city but still needed a car, I'd love to have a Smart Car which I could park sideways. Saw them all over Rome a few weeks ago.

I had a 72 Subaru 4WD Wagon. 2nd car, after a Datsun B110 2dr coupe. Back in my roller-skate phase...
