How about smrt cars?

A friend was looking at cars on Craigslist and told me a Volkswagen was cute.

"No no no no no! Never!"

So, she started looking at smrt cars.

Do you guys have experience with those? I had not heard anything bad about them, just they need mid-grade fuel, which does not make sense to me, when it is supposed to be an economical car. The major complaint I found on-line was dealing with Mercedes Benz dealers. A hundred and thirty dollars an hour and expensive parts is to be expected with $50,000 cars. This one only has 28,700 miles.

The chart Ecky shared showed smrt cars being barely more reliable than Volkswagens, but one owner said they were horrible until 2003 and there were many (admittedly anecdotal) comments of people having few to no problems.

I am going to test drive it today if I have the time.
