    People miss the point

    The main selling point of the Smart Car is PARKING, nothing else. There are more efficient, more practical, more sensible choices out there. But if you live in a dense urban area where parking is always a time-consuming, aggravating event, this car is a godsend. I used to ride motorcycles, and the ease of being able to stop and park almost anywhere definitely gives you a great sense of freedom. For people who wants this freedom but can't or don't want to ride a bike, this car makes a lot of sense.
