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.
