Smart

[openendstraight]

I know some of you will laugh, but I just configured my new Smart Car today. It will arive in 5 to 6 months. Eventhough I am a very large guy, I had more than enough room.

Well, at least there's no more gas expenses problems...or parking.

Seriously, you can park perpendicular to the curb and be totally fine...they do that in Europe all the time.

What I want is one of those electric Tesla specials that just came out...SWEET!

Congrats, they're cool little commuters! I've seen quite a few of those SMART cars around here. All I can say is daymn they're small!

I think I could fit one in the back of my little Toyota pickup. Hell, I might be able to fit one in the back of my Jeep! LOL

They make the MINI look giant in comparison.

Right in time, when gas is going down and down and down.

the fist one i saw in person was in london two years ago. they are small. but cool

Did you get the two door version or the four door?? I like the roadster.

 

[oneaday]

If they came with a 440 Hemi I would get one.

Do they let the diesel versions into the states yet? Smart cars were all over in Italy but I only ever saw a handful of diesel versions.

How is it in snow?

I don't think he'll ever find out unless he moves out of Vegas... :smokingbo

 

[Shmear]

Hahahaha... yeeeeeah, i honestly don't like the SMART, it's too "pretty" for me, but hey, everyone has different taste's and i respect that.

I'm glad you like it and that your getting one.
I've heard that those things are expensive :scratchhe

They only sell the two door in the states (no Roadster), and no diesel yet.

They start under 13k.

It is funny because the Smart dealership here used to be the Hummer dealership, amd I am trading in a Hummer to get the Smart. The guy I just moved in next to has two. He parks them in the single bay garage door (both of them). The double bay door right next to it has no cars in it.

No offense but I have never understood the fascination with the Smart Car. I agree that they look very cool and they get pretty decent gas mileage....but for sacrificing that much size, the gas mileage increase doesn't seem justified. You can get a Yaris that gets only 5 miles less per gallon and you'll probably pay less. The Yaris is also much bigger and you'll actually be able to accelerate onto an on-ramp. Hell, my G6 gets about 32 mpg on the highway if I'm easy on her...that's only 9 less than the Smart's rating on fueleconomy.gov and I can actually fit 5 people and luggage in my car.

Again, no offense.

I have had more cars than I can remember, so i just want it just because. The price is not a concern. I had a BMW M6 before the Hummer, and all my friends thought I was crazy when I came home with the big SUV.

 

[MichiganM]

Well if you want it just because, then I think that's the best reason of all.
