Test drove a smart car - 01-28-2008, 09:53 PM

Such a slow piece of junk. I don't know who the lol would buy one. It's slow, small, and doesn't even get great mileage(33/41). For the price(12k-18k) you can get a MUCH better commuter car that gets ALMOST as good mileage, such as my g6 my dad got for 14k out the door, it gets 23/35, although I've average 40 on long trips. The g6 as an example comes with 4 doors and 5 seats instead of a tiny 2 door 2 seat coupe that is slower then heck. I was scared merging on the highway, and the manumatic with paddle shifters barely worked

I've heard they are extremely solid and safe. WAY too small for me though.

It's a politically correctness "statement" car. Nothing more. A novelty.

Parking will be easier though!

They offer it with brass handles and a satin interior, just like the full size coffins.

I can't tell by the photo. Is that a 1/8th scale or a 1/7th?

The smart car was never meant for highway driving really. Sure, it'll do about 90 to 100mph as a maximum speed but takes forever to go anywhere over 60mph. 0-60 is somewhere around 12 seconds from what I remember. about 70hp, but it weighs about 1800lbs or so.
However, these cars were meant for city folk. They take up about as much room as a motor cycle. Easy to park as well. I'd rather have a turbo diesel in them, economy would probably get near 50/60mpg. However, if you had to park a car in the city a Smart would be a very easy car to park and deal with if all you did was drive int eh city.
