f**k off.those that drive that stupid cars didnt think what will happend if they have car? accident on highway and how stupid the front bonnet opens

You are totally ...
You are totally right, my father buy 2 smart ( one is cdi ), its very nice to drive, very easy for me because i just? started learning to drive. We buy that car because we are smart, because we work in town and we live in suburb. ( sorry for my bad english, i'm from Quebec :P )

I for one would ...
I for one would never get one of these cars. I can't stand small cars. I never could. Right now I have a 2004 Buick Regal. Even it feels kinda small. Some people just cant stand a small car. That doesn't make them waste full. Plus i saw a video on this site where they put up? a cinder block wall and crashed one of these smartfortwos into it at 40 mph. The final assessment, the driver and passenger would not have survived the impact. I stick with a larger car thank you.

I agree, the Smart ...
I agree, the Smart Car is a? lovely part of one's daily living style.

i love german cars, ...
i love german cars, im a nerd for efficiency, and can't stand toyota's but still retain if a bigger car like a yaris or ford fiesta why would you get something? less practical and more expensive if it returns the same mileage?

I? would love one ...
I? would love one of those. Also read a good article about the same at fasteconomicalcars (.) com

Well said... Are ...
Well said... Are you a member of SCoA? If not, you should be, lot's? of fun....

their minds once i ...
their minds once i got it and showed it to them. inside? it's like riding in a regular car. it feel spacious and comfortable and i forget i'm in a tiny bubble until someone either points at me or smiles when they see me or another smart drives by. at which point i get excited all over again

I love love love my ...
I love love love my smart car. I get excellent milage, i never have to give people rides, i ALWAYS find parking close by, plus it's a brand new car and I didnt have to pay an arm and a leg for it. I call it the? baby car and everytime i drive by another i get ecxited. someone onhere commented that it's ugly, well sir your mom is ugly and my car is intensley cute so shuush. I will say that before I got it everyone of my friends thought it was the worst idea ever to get one but they quickly changed

My 2010 Toyota ...
My 2010 Toyota Yaris gets 42 to 45 miles per gallon average, with my wife driving it. She kinda has a lead foot. As? nice as the Yaris is why on Earth would I want a car half its size?

The Smart is still ...
The Smart is still available in Europe with a 3 cyl diesel. North American gasoline Smarts are not nearly? as efficient. It makes you scratch your head.

i really want one ...
i really want one but i dont wanna be mocked. i wish all americans saved the world and were not so waste full. my guy friends would mock me? if i had one! theyre just dumb

Who really gives a ...
Who really gives a spit about gas mileage? If you do, get a prius. The Smart is a fun car to drive. Even the truck driving yahoos don't bother me with the " if a fly hits it, you're dead"? crap. It's safer than riding a bike and dryer.

And??
And??

if a? truck hit it ...
if a? truck hit it ...it's gone

Because this is the ...
Because this is the U.S. We think it's cool to have a V26 truck that gest 2 MPG and then when gas pricest? go up they cry about it.

i mean understand. ...
i mean understand. if you look, the yaris is non hybrid,? and gets 42 mpg. the smart cost about the same, its 2 seater, small, ugly, and only gets 41 mpg. so which is the better choice, huh?

i seriously dont ...
i seriously dont under what the hell? you are saying, your not making any sense to me

So, you're saying I ...
So, you're saying I put words in your mouth? You say the Yaris out-economizes. I countered your conviction,? and as a result, I don't know math, put words in your mouth, and wasted my money by buying a car that is outright the most fuel efficient non-hybrid available in the US market in 2008? Hmm, something doesn't seem right. Que your Jerry Springer reply, "dawg."

50mpg? when did i ...
50mpg? when did i say a yaris gets that much mpg?? your putting words in my mouth. a yaris get around 42 mpg same as a smart car. go ahead, spen 12,000 for a smart car, waste your money. in europe, a smart car gets 63mpg. thats about 21 mpg more than the US. do some math, lol

Seriously, why ...
Seriously, why won't you people just accept the fact that the smartcar is an efficient, low maintenance, useful car that actually delivers? I've owned mine for almost two years, and have put 45,000 miles on it. I frequently get 50mpg if I behave myself. City driving is so much easier, since because the smart is short and narrow, I can easily manoeuvre around "that guy." Wanna take your family on a road trip? This car isn't for you. Wanna drive to and from work? This car? is perfect.

Show me an unmodded ...
Show me an unmodded Yaris that gets 50 mpg like my unmodded smart fortwo, which was actually detuned for the US market to? accept our crappy fuel. You won't.

a four door yaris ...
a four door yaris cost around the same, get same or if not better gas milaege,? and its bigger, fits 4 people, actually 5 people

Of course, the ' ...
Of course, the 'bump' in the Civic will cause very little panel damage, whereas the same 'bump' on the Smart will render it, either in the eyes of insurance companies or those of the owner, as? 'totaled.' And you might look at the little test Top Gear ran between the Prius and the Beemer M3--those results are more typical with green cars driven as one would drive a NORMAL car (which is how they drive). Not great selling points.

The Honda Civic and ...
The Honda Civic and Smart may cost the same in the Us but you cannot compare like for like. Have a bump in a Civic and it's one expensive respray of the panel. In a Smart all the panels are PLASTIC just swap the panel for another for about £60 here in the Uk. Also a gallon in the UK is bigger than the Us (4.5L) The petrol Smart averages 70mpg? and the magic CDi returns 81mpg around town and over 100mpg on a long trip. Honda Civics in the Uk do around 40mpg NO CONTEST

Trendy, yes. But ...
Trendy, yes. But even in lefty-bonkers Portland Oregon, they can't GIVE these things away. It costs as much as a Honda Civic, and gets THE SAME MILEAGE. Whole new? trend for the market. Yeah right. We aren't getting smaller cars...we're going to OLDER cars, and doing with them as we see fit. Besides, unless you're under 6'2", you can't even FIT in one of these things (I'm 6'8"...not happening).

What happens when ...
What happens when you live in Florida, Arizona or Texas? ? No ICE ICE, baby. You people who live up north are insane for living up there. Why freeze your f**king ass off when you could live in nice weather down south? f**k those salty roads in winter. Live in tropical paradise instead.

HHO is so much " ...
HHO is so much "snake oil". i can run the math for you. i've done it before on? other HHO vids on youtube and they shut down. what happens when the temp drops below 32F, you get HHnothing! aka ICE ICE baby.

the fiat 500 will ...
the fiat 500 will be over a liter, it will? just be like the BMW mini, something "small", but nothing like the original. it's just a name. i made a vid of my smart next to an original mini, no comparison. my bro had a suby 360 30 years ago, 356cc's 900lbs...that was a ride LOL

depends on where ...
depends on where you're going, and i plan on doing better next year. next summer there is a smart meet in KC, i'm thinking of doing my? cross country 50+mpg venture to coincide with the '10 KC meet. i will "scoot" out to seattle, then start "hypermiling" to boston, then "scoot" home to chicagoland. i have so many days of vacation, i'd like to keep average speeds at about 40mph. it's something i'm working on.
