The only thing the Smart car is good for is, you can get 2 in 1 parking spot!!
BTW my Civic gets 34mpg on the low side,38 high side, can carry 5 adults +luggage while doing 80mph comfortably if needed.(that's only 5 over out here in AZ).
Oh yea, my Civic EX is only about $1800 more than a decked out Smart Car.
Did I mention the Civic will probably last a heck of a lot longer also.
So if you ask me, the Smart Car is actually pretty Dumb.

I know there was an article a while back about how they took a new BMW diesel and a Prius, drove them from London to Geneva and the BMW beat the Prius in MPG.
Here it is:
