Test drive: The Smart car is revolutionary

A car small enough to alter your relationship with the city.

    so... if you don't live in the city?

    Living in Memphis, I've never been without a parking place. Not once. And a car that hesitates when pulling out into traffic is death-on-wheels here.

    Plus, I remember a neighbor whose Citroen was constantly stolen as a joke by high schoolers. They would pick it up and cart it off.

    Sounds like an idea whose time has come - in the city. Here, maybe not so much.
