Its like the folks around here buying Smart cars.
Some thing that small must get great mileage!
Wow, that tiny car must be great for the enviroment.
Last I checked they get mid 30s EPA
Funny thing is watching them fly by at 75MPH and knowing my wifes V-6 SUV going 60MPH is getting better mileage with all her tools and parts in the back.
A stock Accord/Corrola/Cobalt/small 4 door sedan typically gets the same mileage or better and can fit 4 plus luggage.

Why do people buy them ?
Sounds like "conspicuous conservation" doesn't it.
