I have talked to many Smart car owners and everyone loves their car. We must keep up our will to wipe out any thought that this car could work for anyone. So basically you want to wipe out the truth? The truth is this car would work for millions of people. How many people drive a commuter vehicle and never have more than one other person in the car? there are many that fit that bill. It is dangerous! So is a motorcycle, so is a Yaris. Lets face it, unless you are driving an armored truck driving is dangerous, the Smart is no more dangerous than any other small car and safer than a motorcycle or a scooter.

*I* got the satire, but remember that thta's one of the hardest things to do on a message board... have everyone take what you say the way you mean them to. Honestly, I was going to go test drive a smart just to see what they were like, but our local dealer stopped having them. I'm not trying to "save" anyone from buying or driving a smart. That's the great thing about cars. We can all choose what we like for whatever reason. I just shake my head sometimes at the hyperbole when it comes to safety of ANY vehicle when people make statements like "it's so light it would probably bounce off the 18-wheeler instead of crush". Sort of strains common sense a bit! Might be interesting for some of us to keep a log of our driving for a week and see how much car we actually use or need. It might even surprise me, but thinking back on this last week there were about four times I was in the car with less than 3 people on board. Still might be an interesting exercise once I get over this head cold

We have one on our used car lot that someone trade in after 150 miles. They just hated it and couldn't wait to get rid of it. I was going to ask if these cars can really be driven on the freeway and I read here about a poster who drives hie 80-90 MPH!! I'm not bashing them but for the life of me, I think I would rather walk!
