I could put one of these inside my Prius, and I’d still get 51 mpg. I’d have to fold down the back seets, though, probably.

I'm not uncomfortable with innovation. I bought a scooter during the Gulf War, drove a New Beetle with serial number <1,000 when they first came out, and I own an iMac and an Acer Aspire One. My wife knows I want a Smart, but she wants our next vehicle to be a Jeep Commander (*Zoiks!*).

The thing I find so curious is the attitude I get when I try to talk about the Smart to my friends and associates. They tell me "It's too small; I wouldn't feel safe on the road with all the SUVs and HUMMERS out there". Then I ask, "Well, when would you feel more comfortable giving up *YOUR SUV*, so everyone will feel less intimidated on the road and start buying small cars?" Their answer? "I'll downsize after everyone else does."

We Americans have difficulty changing until we're forced into change. We like to obtain "things", and feel cheated when we can't keep them. But let's let gas hit $7 a gallon, as some analysts have already predicted, and see if they'll change, when they're forced to choose between shoes for their kids and driving their "road boats".

Sad.

I love the Smart Car, we Americans tend to be afraid of anything that isn’t well marketed towards us. This car has the best gas mileage of any non-hybrid car on the market. Just wait until the boob-tube starts aiming towards all of you disbelievers, they’ll make you wish you got on the list last year.

I have researched the Smart ForTwo, but can’t find any information on child safety in the Smart Car. Can you turn off the airbags? My four year old can ride in a booster seat, but I’m hesitate if the airbags are active.

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks,

If you have any doubts – try one. I have had one for three years and also have an FJ Cruiser. The FJ sits in the yard most of the time as given the choice, I will take the smart car every time. It is a hoot to drive, parks anywhere, and drives two weeks on 5 gallons of gas. It takes a week or two to learn how to get the most out of the transmission and when you do you can keep up with all the traffic and cruise all day at 85mph if your laws allow it.

This my favorite car in the whole world!!! I fell in love with these cars when they first came out in Germany back in the late 90′s. Don’t worry about the size. I am 6’5, 220 lbs. and I fit comfortably with headroom to boot and plenty of leg room. Heated mirrors and seats – no worries for the winter – the car handles like a dream. Parking is amazing – one can actually park it perpendicular to the street if need be.
4WD or Formula 1 – NO!
City Car – Perfectly Yes!

Its amazing that the Smart will NOT be released in Diesel or Hybrid in Australia, this is not what we wanted!
