CONS: None

REVIEW: This is the perfect vehicle! Great to own, most folks will enjoy driving it and parking just became a breeze. What's not to like about it! ...

CONS: death trap

REVIEW: Decent mpg, but not very good considering the size of the vehicle and the anemic engine. Front and side airbags are a nice touch, but without a front/rear/side crumple zone the air bags are not much use....can we say leg amputation? The car has been into the dealership three times in 12K miles-not ...

CONS: Side winds push you around a bit.

REVIEW: Bought new in Dec '08. I live in rural Ohio and commute 50 miles a day. I love the mileage. Wish more folks would own one so I would not constantly have to answer questions whenever I stop. Get a bit frustrated at everyone calling it "So cute!" My standard answer is "And I ...

CONS: None yet.

REVIEW: I've gone back and forth on getting this car for 8 months. I am by myself 95% of the time in my car (commuting mostly), so it's really a definition of what do I "need". I've loved it since seeing it the summer of 2002 in Milan, and finally pulled the trigger last month. ...

CONS: no power, sloppy transmission

REVIEW: If you like being able to go when the light turns green, this is the wrong car for you. The sequential transmission doesn't shift when you want it to, but rather a second or so later; you have to anticipate when you want to shift, and tell the car to shift a second sooner. ...

CONS: need to be aware of my surroundings and not just go blindly driving along

REVIEW: I bought this car to use as a work car. I am a mfg rep and am on the highway daily so wanted something economical to drive that would also have enough room for the things I need to carry with me. It does not ride like a cadillac but the ride is equivilant of any small car. The seats are ...

CONS: Miss cruise control & tilt steering wheel

REVIEW: I own a Tahoe that I only drive on weekends now that I have the Smart Car. It has as much leg room as the Tahoe after you get in and I'm 6' 2". It would be nice if it had a tilt wheel but once you figure out how to get in and out it's not bad. It's not bad zipping around in ...

CONS: Not sure if there really are any

REVIEW: I love this car. This a great car to comute in. The only car my wife and I use on weekends. Gas milage is about 43 MPG. not to shabby.The interior is roomy. I'm 6'2" & almost 300 lbs. and I have plenty of room. This car reminds me of theVW bug of the 1960's but much better ...

CONS: cruise control not available, 2 different size tires

REVIEW: I love my new Smart for 2!!! I bought it with blue panels, bought a set of red ($900), swaped out 1/2 & with pinstriping, I now have "old glory". It parks very easy, turns on a dime & gives you 9 cents change. It has the feature of switching to manual shifting. Base price $13,200 ...

CONS: Lack of Alaskan sales & service

REVIEW: I bought my Smart car in Houston and towed it on a trailer to Alaska. I am a large guy and it is so roomy that I have no problems with entry or exit. It is very comfortable even on those 2+ hour trips to the Kenia or Talkeetna. It has to be the most commented on car I have ever seen. I have to ...
