I don't know in the States but in Italy we have a lot of Smart cars, this is a Smart car if you don't know : https://automobiliusate.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/smart.jpg.

Now I don't have anything against the car, i mean its great for Rome, small and easy to park...but, I HATE THE DRIVERS!
They are mostly either women, but not any kind of women, but women over 40 who think since they have small tiny car they can do anything from waving in and out of traffic, doing turns that put other drivers in danger and parking in places such as on the corners of a very tight street.

This is a pic from google but I can assure you in Rome you will Smart cars parked like that every fucking where:https://divietodisosta.myblog.it/media/01/01/612631994.jpg
And that is not all, you will find Smart cars parked so badly that they occupy two parking spots, TWO FUCKING PARKING SPOTS FOR A FUCKING TINY CAR?

I saw a scene just now. Since its few days before Christmas parking in a big mall is pretty hard. This Mercedes GL was waiting for a car to move out from the parking spot, well the car comes and the Mercedes starts to go backwards to park and then suddenly this Smart car comes out of no where and tries to park at the place as the GL. Now this already is not gonna end up well, but..wait for it...........the Smart while trying to park hits a Land Rover Discovery that was parked next to it, and basically bounces off from the land rover. It literally bounced off and lost the headlights, the bumper and the grill with this incredibly loud and satisfying noise of plastic flying to bits. The Mercedes guy calmly parks his car, gets out and walks up to the Smart. He stops, applauds the lady for basically ruining her own car and walks away. Felt so good that I walked up to the lady and told her "Bring that toy of yours back home lady".

You should know what your talking about before talking... go look up crash test data.

Actually your legs would have been fine, that is what they were showing... how fucking amazing it is that the passenger compartment held up to that.
Its a 70mph crash for god sakes. Real crash test data is taken @ 40mph and the passenger compartment is often compromised even then.

Don't worry about your legs in that crash, cause you would be dead anyways. Infact you would be dead in pretty much any car. Its a crash at 70mph... the deceleration alone would pretty much kill you, let alone any impacts you may have with the interior.

I wouldn't buy one, but thats for other reasons... As far as safety is concerned, they are safer then many many cars... in fact if you drive a car from the 90's its probably safer then yours.

Smarts are the perfect city cars. They're more moped than they are cars.

You mean they no longer drive this in Italy? I loved these, they didn't even had to break for corners.

When I was in Rome, every 3rd car was a Smart Car.

They were pretty creative in the way they parked perpendicular to the curb in a parallel space. Here in Aus there are hardly any Smart Cars.

What is their mileage compared to other cars? I dont actually know.

90% of the projectile motion questions my physics teacher gave us involved driving either smartcars or Honda Element/Nissan Cubes off of cliffs of various height.

Twas pretty great.


That's all I have to say on this topic.

I seem to remember the diesel ones got about 90mpg.

EDIT: It's 80-85 but I was close petrol is ~55-70.

The problem with these people is they think they're more important and they can get away with parking in places that will make transportation by foot or vehicle a hassle. They don't care though because they think it's their right!

I wish I could bust the knee caps of each person who thinks that way with a nice baseball bat.
And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.

Those are still used, mostly by people who have flower stands, food stand etc.
