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!

I live 64 miles from my dealer. In the 10 months/10,000 miles I've owned my smart I've had no problems whatsoever and no need to return to the dealer. Consumer Reports rates the smart as one of the "Most Reliable." My dealership reports in the 13 months they've been a dealer they've performed NO MAJOR REPAIRS. Oil change is 12/months/10,000 miles (whichever occurs first). It's VERY EASY to change the oil and filter and you don't have to go to a dealer. You don't even need to jack up the car. Anybody whoi changes oil can do it. Engine is accessed via a hatch under the truck floor. Vehicle does have an air compressor and tire sealant to use in the event of a flat. Tires are not generally a problem. For more info I suggest the following Web sites:

Enjoy
