I've had my smart for 13 months now, and have put 15K miles on it. It is a blast to drive... not just around town, but on long freeway trips, as well. i find it very comfortable and a pleasure to drive at all speeds and over distance. My ONLY disappointment with the smart is my gas mileage – 38 to 40 MPG. Otherwise, it is very, very satisfying and I'd easily recommend the car to others, bearing in mind the so-so gas mileage. For me, the positive aspects... and immense fun... far outweigh any negatives.

Mine is great, it is a cdi and has a lifetime average over 76,000 miles of 59.7 MPG US, on wide tires and wheels. The soft top is often wide open, which is obviously not good for FE.

I've seen more of these smart cars on the streets lately. Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable riding in one long-term, just too small for me. At some point I just don't feel safe anymore. I guess for city driving it might be safer, but when you're sharing the road with the likes of Hummers, it makes safety a concern.

Apparently Daimler is announcing that the Smart Car is coming to the U.S. While it's not a traditional hybrid, it's pretty green. What's everyone's take?
