I've driven a friends Smart car, it's an ok commuter DD, but the base mpg is not all that impressive IMO, handling is ok, noise level is kinda high, but fun to drive. I bought a mazda 3 HB 2.3 mtx, much more fun, can get out of the way of other traffic if needed, and i get mid to high 30's mpg consistently as my DD with mild hypermiling techiques. Have gotten 40 dfe before on some days.
