What people think about this car??

Smart Canada is offering a $199/moth for 39 months lease with $1769 down, seems like a good option now that i might need another car and is very economic on gas. :P

I thought it was an excellent car ever since I saw it in europe, but it should be much cheaper. The redesign should be out on the roads soon.

The wheels on that seem to be set out alot more then on other models i've seen. I think that if you were driving on the HWY and a freight truck went by really fast, you would have trouble.
I would probably want a hybrid one.

I think they make great sense as a commuter car. I couldn't imagine owning one as my only car but as a second car just for getting to work and back, it would surely fit the bill.
As mentioned though... it should really be cheaper. I think they should all be around $5k less than they are.

Nice looking car, but find out how much it cost to service it.
The money you save on gas, will be spent on an oil change.

I was gonna say Bubba but Broli works too :D
They actually are quite roomy. A friend of a friend rented one before and we got in; surprisingly a lot of leg room for such a compact sardine can.

All the crash tests show this little thing bouncing off and being pretty safe...id like to see a rear-end collision with a car in front of it, like a stoplight.....that thing wouldnt have anywhere to bounce off :p

It wouldn't be for me but for the wife and as for the maintenance, there is always the option that you do the basic stuff your self.

Bouncing = whiplash = Side impact from the SUV beside you = broken legs
