I would gladly drive a smart but like everyone else I couldn't justify it since I typically need one "newer" car in the mix and it usually needs to seat at least 3.
I would have loved the smart anyway but I don't like
1. Not having a clutch and MT I control directly
2. The fuel economy
3. The weight.
If the smart were
1. Lighter
2. Had a real clutch and MT I push and use
3. and weighed less like a euro version car
I might well buy a used one as they are "fun" much like my Comuta and my Subaru 360 (when it runs)
The price aspect of the smart is OK but not excellent, the odd part is there are quite literally dozens of the things around here, I drive past 1 or 2 on my way to work everyday.
The Fiat 500 I bunch into this type of vehicle as well, I would have owned one but the cost and utility wasn't as good as my cheap econobox cobalt XFE. My father really wants a 500 but until they are used and inexpensive I can't justify it as a primary type car.
Ever since the bergstrom dealer actually Smarts on the lot I have been seeing them around all the time.
Cheers
Ryan
