One of our closest friends owns a Smart Car, and there are a few in our neighborhood, both in NY and in The Plantation.
1) They do not cost $20-25k. The base model starts at $11,900. The most expensive one has an MSRP of $16,900.
2) although they do take premium gas, my friend gets more in the 50 mpg range.
That being said, I just bought a Prius.....I can seat 5 people, and a ton of stuff in the back, I have a ton of VERY COOL options, and get 50 mpg easy with regular gas. In my not so humble opinion, it is the smarter choice, but of course they are way different cars.....and neither is a golf cart.
