Oh I know and people buy them for that reason.
I wonder how they are in a strong crosswind?

to me more practical and safer than a motorcycle and for the most part cheaper too.

They perform fine on the expressway. Cute car, efficient and a much safer alternative to a scooter, motorcycle (or Hyundai Accent).

I saw a 250 pound guy in a suit driving a Smart, and believe me, that was far funnier seeing him in that over a truck. I couldn't stop laughing.

What's funny to you may not be all that funny to anyone else. Everything is funny (or not funny) given the perspective chosen. I guess you would have pissed your pants seeing a large man in a suit on a motorcycle...

this past summer I saw just the same thing except he was on a moped type scooter. Ive even seen women in dresses on scooters. One woman looked like she had a large belt wrapped around her legs to keep the dress from blowing up.

and talked to the nearest dealer who were not that excited about talking over the phone about the car (70 miles)..like the looks and the whole idea for a fun extra vehicle. Questions remain:
anyone think the 70 mi is too far to get to a dealer?
they said you only have to change the oil once a year? odd?
how do you get at the engine and for example check the oil?
i'm still having a problem with the no spare tire issue. bad luck with tires recently!
