the added mpg of the smart + added price just doesn't add up for me. isn't there a year waiting list too? plus her commute starts in the country and goes into highway. she'll want something a little more substantial when she's side-by-side with deer and 18 wheelers.
not saying the smart isn't a safe vehicle, but it reminds me too much of the jap mini-trucks that are all over my work. one front end collision = no legs.
i'm gonna sift through the 'net for 2 door standards, and see what else is out there. but i appreciate any and all recommendations from this site.
