Would you buy a Smart car?

Chrysler to begin selling Smart car in USA

These cars are cute but not very practical if you have a huge family or need to haul around a lot of stuff.

Re: Would you buy a Smart car?

I don't know how well this will work, I mean, did you SEE that thing? How the hell would a normal person fit in it?

Re: Would you buy a Smart car?

I agree with Thom. Even though I can fit comfortably in the driver's seat of a Mini Cooper, I don't think I'd fit in that car. And I noticed the article talked a little about the safety of the vehicle, but what, are objects/other vehicles going to bounce off it upon impact?

Don't think I'll be buying one.

Re: Would you buy a Smart car?

Believe it or not, I actually saw one on the road yesterday here in KC. It reminded me a little of those funky electric cars you'd occasionally see back in the 70's. What struck me about it was that upon seeing it in person, I realized that the thing had absolutely zero storage space. The thing was designed strictly for commuting, and if you had 2 people in the car you could forget about going to the grocery store. As far as I'm concerned, it's nothing more than an enclosed 4-wheeled motor scooter.

If you lived in this area you'd want that feature since the overpasses are literally crumbling and chunks of concrete are falling on cars. :P

So Chrysler doesn't offer that as an option on other vehicles? Now that would be smart.

That's like the car that Homer designed in that one episode of the Simpsons.

Re: Would you buy a Smart car?

I want a smart car that drives me around places that I want to go. But with my luck, I'd get a sarcastic computer module that would sass me and groan everytime I got into the car because I wear down it's shocks.
