Test drive: The Smart car is revolutionary

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

    So let's review

    It rides like crap, it's underpowered, it has a crap transmission (why on earth are you shifting an auto anyway???), it's missing a seat and it gets the same mileage as my 4 door Camry.

    But it's cute as fuck, a nerd chick magnet and you can park it.

    So in short - the greatest benefit of the Smart car is when you're not using it and it's not running.

    Awesome.
