Smart Cars

[Macaws]

Does anyone else agree, that smart cars are the best?

I am going to buy my own customized smart. I can't wait.
Does anyone else have anything to say about smarts?

I actually think Smart cars are one of the worst. For such small size and poor horsepower, the mileage it gets is abysmal. It should be much more efficient.

Additionally the cost throws out any possible benefits.

I'd personally recommend a Honda Civic, Honda Civic Hybrid, Toyota Prius, or Toyota Yaris for fuel efficiency. Have you sat in a Smart car? It really isn't people friendly IMO

I'd rather drive that truck to the left, because if it drives into that smart car, what would hurt more?

OMG brandon, how do you afford all those cars???

I have nothing to say about smart cars since I never owned one. I don't like cars

I just saw one of those smart cars go by while i was reversing that truck, if it wasn't for the fact the truck isn't registered i would have hit it.

I seriously think you would break a few bones if you got in an accident with one of these.
There's no space for air bags.
I think that they've gone a bit too extreme with their idea.

I would have gotten hurt The truck has no driver side air bag =p

I think if a truck hit one you'd crush it, air bags would do no good.

what do they do?

Smart cars? Well, it is a car that functions like most cars but are very small.

 

[IonCannon218]

i dont want a small car
i want a medium car lol

you're more likely to survive in a crash if you have a bigger vehicle

 

[burner35]

Smart cars ain't the best at the kinda prices they are now

Not agreeing, smart cars are horrible...

 

[IonCannon218]

i prefer a fuel efficient car

You can easily get other fuel efficient cars (i.e. Civic, Yaris, Fit). The Smart is an extremely inefficient car

This is what you are talking about: http://www.chevrolet.com/fuelcell/.

It breaks the hydrogen out of the water and runs the car off that.

Well as of now ... I would vote for smart cars ... raising fuel price ...pollution and traffic .. are big big mess

I would just like to put my two words in here.
The Four Two in the 1st post was the beginning of a generation of cars I like to call "bread baskets"(compacts). These where what inspired allot of car companies to start looking at more fuel efficient cars. I am not sure how many of you have driven the turbo charged version of this but you might change your point of view on them. It is a nippy little bugger that reaches 200km/h with no problems.
I am not saying it is my ideal car(my ideal is a Fiat Uno Turbo mkII 1400i).
Also regarding the air bags I can assure you it is far saffer than most the compacts and also its comfort level inside the cabin for a average size person is very good. 5.1 surrond sound and a very well put together styling.
What most of you here are saying makes no sense cause if you look at the Mini Cooper S it is smaller and yet it has no problems with space even though it has a 2l supercharged engine.(side note uno turbo will smoke this even stock standard from the factory )
