I have a Versa and I usually average 28 to and from work.I took a trip to test drive the Smart car and finally was able to get 33 miles per gallon but that was most Highway driving.I noticed that I need to go very light on the acceleerater to get 28 to and fro work keep it below 3500 RPM.I like the Smart Car put have mixed feelings.Some say it get great gas milage one guy said he got 26 miles per gallon.
I had a scooter that was suppose to get 65 the best I ever got was 45.The guy that got 26 said it was when he went over 65.I just wonder if he was a young driver doging the car had the gas peddle to the floor all the time.I put in my Reservation but I have a year to change my mind.I want better gas milage.My Chevy HHR averages 28 miles per gallon to and from work.My wife has kind of made it her car.I bought the lt it has the smaller of the (2) 4 cylinders put it can run on regular.We plan on keeping it one of the best Cars I have ever had.What about part for the Smart Car Oil Filters Air Filters I like to at least service my cars my self.
Thanks Randy

Do you know if they have changed the transmission since you drove the Smart Car.I drove one and like it but I was not trying to break any speed records in it.What about parts like Oil & Air Filter is it possible to service at one house?
Thanks

Is the smart FortTwo safe? Check out the actual tests (be sure to view the "films") on the European equivalent of the NHTSA web site at:

Looks like it did pretty well, considering how small it is. Marked down because of marginal pedestirian protection (lots of cars have that). I also think that was the previous version, not the 2008.

Pros & Cons of the ForTwo by bobndebi

Hi Every1 - I'm brand new here this morning. I had never seen or heard about the Smart Fortwo car B4 and I think they’re pretty neat. Sorry to make what was suppose to be just a short, quick question so long (appreciate ur patience!). I’m actually thinking of getting one, especially since I really don’t see the gas prices coming down in the foreseeable future anyway. I’d like to know what you think of them. Any comments and/or suggestions anyone offers will be appreciated.
 
Also, on some of the other posts I've read, I hear (see?) people saying they put down their $99 deposit and then have to wait a year to get the actual car. Is that still valid? Doesn't the dealer in Lindon (? I think) have any in yet? Or, is it because you have to special order to get the exact one you want - kinda "made to order"? Thanks People (well, I'm sure most of you are anyway!! LOL) Bob

Make sure you read the statements pretty throughly to avoid surprises. Great car but some shortcomings.
