Can your friend afford to pay for maintenance? If money isn't a huge deal, they might as well get what they like. Smarts only get alright mileage for what they are, though, a 4 door compact car can easily beat them and you get twice the car. If friend is on a budget, try steering them towards something like a Civic or Corolla. Buying a European car on a budget can be a bad idea unless they can do any work that's required.
