Other than the above, why do you think you want a smart car? If I had to have a really small car like that I would but the Chevrolet Aveo or Ford's little Focus.

Some of your points are valid BTK but your point about safety is simply not true.

You'll see at this site: http://autos.aol.com/cars-smart-fort...afety-ratings/ that the Smart is actually BETTER than the Aveo in almost all safety ratings.

It has to either meet or exceed Federal standards. Also meets or exceeds the private insurance company standards.
