Test drive: The Smart car is revolutionary

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

    As One of the Riders

    As one of the people who took advantage of the Manjoo Taxi Service, I was impressed with the car. So much so, I spent the money to add myself to the waiting list here in Sacramento. I found the car more fun to drive than the Mini and more comfortable on the inside. The Niello dealership let me drive about in one for just less than an hour, and I didn't have a complaint. The transmission on my Honda Accord is going and this seems like a good replacement. I wouldn't drive to LA on I-5 with the car, but for commuting, it seemed perfect.

    Manjoo is fun to meet in person, too, btw. For such a youngster, he's rather well read.
