Those little things are actually pretty roomy inside, maybe a tad smaller than a Focus. They have a hell of a lot of room for a rolling coffin.

People are so stupid (pick any # of reasons from above). I laugh my *** off everytime I see one of those on the road. What could possibly compel someone to drive that thing is beyond me.

I'm ready to buy a car for the gas milage now that my commute is much longer, but that's just asking to be crushed with all the idiots on the road.

That is why we take the truck down those country roads to the in laws on holidays when so many have been drinking.

I would feel safer in a go-kart than the Smart car.

They should keep these stupid micro coffins off highways and restrict them to areas (cities) where they were designed for. The Smart car was designed for urban yuppies who stay in the city and don't go faster than 50 km/h, makes sense doesn't it? Besides, I don't think the cars can handle high speeds and blow up tranny's from what I hear. Good luck driving on hwy 400 north of Toronto with one of these crap boxes!!!
