Personally I view as a dumb car. Looks like a death trap to me.

I would not drive any small car. Smart cars may be smart, I don't think they are a smart choice.
I drive my 2003 Silverasdo Z-71 truck, and love it, I had a 2000 before this. I love sitting up higher, headlights don't blind me at night. I use 1/2 tank of gas a week, when I can't afford that I will stop driving.

Haha, with the size of those tires, Billy, the tires might cost more than the car. A ladder might be needed to get inside.

My husband says they are really smart until they get hit by a Suburban - guess which vehicle comes out in better shape.

Well just have to add an update- this morning my husband, driving his Smart to his first day of new job!!!- got T-boned in a major intersection right off Rt. 95. The real axle broke, hubby walked away without a cut or bruise. The car that hit him was a speeding SUV, also damaged, fortunately no injuries. Not the way we wanted to learn about how it handles in an accident, but if he wants to replace it with another Smart, I'm ok with that!

Every panel on the car has been modified some how and it has more parts off of other cars than you can think of. It has a 1957 Chevy front bumper, 55 Oldsmobile grille, 1950 Mercury grille opening, 1955 Pontiac trim, 1949 Lincoln steering wheel, I pie cut the front fenders and leaned them forward 2 1/2 ", shaved the door handles and emblems, frenched the headlights and taillights. Just too many things done on the car it would be easier to tell you what I left alone LOL!!

I have had this car since I was 13 and I am in my mid 40's now. This has not been the only car I have had but the one with the staying power!
