Thanks for the info, but sorry, I still prefer a car bigger than that.

I think the wheelbase is too long...if I'm gonna drive a car like that, I want to feel everything...

Someone where I work has one of those Smart Cars and uses it daily to make the same commute I do. About 8 - 10 miles one way on the freeway. I have to admit, we don't go slow on the commute and it is always a matter of one or the other of us passing the other. They cruise that little car down the freeway every bit as fast as we do our Chrysler 300. And they look comfortable doing it, surprisingly enough. I asked her one time if she ever worried about being in an accident on the freeway in it and she said No. The car was basically a 'cage' and she felt perfectly safe in it. From what I've seen of crash tests, etc., done on the car, she just may be right. I still wouldn't want a car that small, but I have to give it points for doing its job so well.
