Has anyone on here used a Smart as their daily driver? I was really interested in these vehicles because, for one, they just look different. Also, when I start my commute to school (95 mile round trip), I will be the only one in the car. I have also found that there are a lot of aftermarket parts for them (even though some are outrageously expensive). I was wondering what some people have gotten their Smarts to achieve.

I also have a hybrid question. If I decide to get a hybrid, I am split between the Civic Hybrid, the Insight (main choice), and the Prius. For those of you that drive them, how do you like them. Do you think they will be a adequate commuter car and is it enjoyable driving them? Do people pay attention to you on the road?

When I drive my wife's car, a 1987 Ford Escort, people basically ignore us. I really do not like that and her horn doesn't work. I realize I will have this problem in a Smart, but have any of you hybrid drivers noticed this? I have noticed that a lot of drivers disregard the hybrids as unimportant.
