I think they're pretty cool. Not much room inside for shopping trips anywhere of consequence, though.........and have fun if you're on the short end (pun intended) of a traffic accident! Though they are highly rated for safety "in their class", I'd contend that hooking up with, oh say.....a Chevy Suburban in a highway confrontation would have the Smart Car coming out the loser. But it would definitely solve the "Where am I allowed to be?" dilemma.

Great little car.... Had one in Kiel, Germany. Cabrio, 600cc 3 cylinder Diesel ....~ 50mpg! Lots of fun to drive and perfect for big city parking. Was my work car, but we drove it everywhere that didn't require an autobahn appearance...
