Pros

Small, stiff suspension, great looking

Cons

not at this time

I love the car and its economy. I had a dealer tell me to lift your foot off the gas to make a smoother shift. well that is completely untrue. what are you are buying is a manual transmission. that is why there is a delay. the trick to getting great gas mileage out of the car is to drive it in auto mode and position your foot on the gas pedal where you normaly have it for cruising and let the computer do the work. It is strictly a economy car so i hate all the people that compare it to a sports car. You want a sports car go buy a sports car. I also understand that this car is not for everybody. so do your research before you ridicule the ride. also with the premium fuel? if you research enough this car has a 10:1 compression ratio in the engine so i understand the fuel, you have to have this to get the most power in a little package. This is an outstanding little car and smart has there reasons for making it the way they did. it has been out for over 12 years. they have it all worked out. So show a little love people
