That and its overpriced for what you get, and there are too few dealers around. Buts its cute! Awwww.

exactly! I get 38 combined in my manual Yaris same as the Samrt car - plus twice the interior room. I've already hauled 75 - 40pound - bags of garden soil with my hatch.

car cost me 13.3 k: smart is at least that price if my more!

Yaris can do interstate travel and I got a ticket going 90 in it. It will go up to 120 actually - though I wuld not do that myself.

Smart tops out around 90 mph. but I'd not go over 80 in that thing.

of course 80 is pretty much all you need in the real world.

i'd like to see the IQ here myself. and the new fiat 500.
