What are your views on the Smart fortwo? I am getting a car in the next few months and I was considering getting a Smart fortwo, the 'Pure' to be exact. But it's so small, and I was wondering if I got in a accident and crashed, would I get seriously injured? This is the car ; http://www.smartusa.com/smart-fortwo-pure.aspx
Anyone ever driven or been in a Smart ForTwo? Are they as small as they appear? What are they like to drive in and would you recommend buying one ? Pro's and con's? And people who have been in one, but not driven it, how was the ride and space? Thanks

Is a Smart ForTwo a rear-wheel or front-wheel drive car? The reason I ask is because of that Smart Diablo video that's making the rounds in the internet. (the drifting exhibition, not the one where it beats the ferrari in the quarter-mile) In the video, the rear tires are lighting up.

Smart Fortwo: cool or geeky? I put my name on the list to reserve a Smart Fortwo...they go on sale in the USA in January 2007. What does anybody think of them? Are they super cool, or are they a dorky little clown car? www.smartusa.com I'm not interested in safety or practicality with this question. I just want to know what your reaction would be if you saw one driving down the road. Would you laugh at it in pity, or wish you had your own? Smart Car is made by Mercedes Benz
Smart Fortwo cars already in the US? I want one of those cars, but they don't get released until 2008, and a few people I know have already seen them on the road. Where did they get them?
Does anyone own a Smart forTwo? If you do, I would be greatly appreciative if you could provide me with the dimensions of the cargo area- behind the seats. All the specs I have seen only provide the cubic dimension, not the actual size. Thanks! My question isn't whether I should buy one or not, and "3 full shopping bags" is a good answer if I knew how big the shopping bags were... ... and how they are oriented in the car.
Will Smart ForTwo be a success in the U.S?its expensive and not that efficient.? I don't think Americans will like this car. Don't get me wrong,I am one of those people that gets labeled a 'treehugger' often by my collegues but Smart ForTwo isn't that economical or gas efficient for that matter. According to www.smartusa.com, at the faq section, the bast price starts at $11,600, then 13,600 for a higher one, then 16600 for the highest trim level. and using 2008 EPA MPG calculation method, it will only average around 33/41. I mean come on, there are cars like fit,Civic,Yaris,Versa,Sentra that gets just as good mileage and cost about the same. The car just looks unsafe and I wouldn't dare to drive that piece of crap on the highway. so if efficiency was the same and the cost is the same,would you buy a car that doesn't look like a wheel chair that can't fit more than 2 people ?
Why does the new SMART ForTwo get worse mileage than a 1990s Geo/Chevy Metro? I was looking forward to the release of the SMART fortwo, but it seems to me the mileage sucks for what it is. It gets 40 city/45 highway by EPA 2007 standards (33/41 for 2008). As I recall, the 3-cylinder geo metro sold about a decade ago got over 50MPG, was bigger, had comparable power/acceleration, and had (tiny) rear stats. With all the technology in the SMART and it's small size, I was expecting it to get better mileage than the old 3-cylinder Geo/Chevy metros. Can anyone explain what the big mileage drag is? In answer to the question below, I looked it up, and both vehicles have/had a 1L 3 cylinder engine. Also, according to fueleconomy.gov, the metro creamed the fortwo on mileage. The Geo Metro XFI got 43/51 by 2008 EPA standards. (fueleconomy.gov converts old vehicles to the 2008 standard). Safety may be part of it, but I don't think its the whole story. Despite being smaller, the SMART is 1,808 lb. The Metro was 1650, a difference of 150 lb. However, I don't think such a small difference in weight (under 10% heavier) would account for 10MPG!
2008 smart fortwo pure, Safety Issues?? I think this car was a very clever Idea. And Im thinking about buying it.But what happens if you get into an accident? Do you think that you would be safer in a regular 4 door car? I mean what would happen if a semi hit you?
