I have always found the Smart Car to be an insult to my intelligence. There is irony in the name because the Smart Car is, in fact, stupid. My reasoning is pretty simple. Yes, it looks ridiculous, is arguably unsafe, and is more expensive than the larger and less embarrassing Toyota Yaris and Nissan Versa. But what I really find insulting is the fact that
it gets terrible gas milage.
According to
Fueleconomy.gov the 2010 Smart Fourtwo gets a combined 36 MPG. Seems good, right? Only until you realize a
1994 Honda Civic got 43 MPG. If the Smart is so smart, then why could a car that is both larger and better looking get 7MPG better
16 YEARS AGO?
Can someone please chime in and explain the merits of this car to our fellow readers?
