Test drove a smart car

[t to the maxx2]

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.

looks like that suburban lost one of its nuts. O wait thats a smart car. My mistake. Id have to say really gay.

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.
