Test drive: The Smart car is revolutionary

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

    Dampened enthusiasm

    I was really excited about the Smart Car, but 33 in town for such a small vehicle doesn't seem that great. I have a Honda Fit which cost me about $16/17 grand and I have been getting combined highway/city mileage of about 33 in the winter and about 39 in the summer. And it's got a crazy amount of space for a small car!!! I bought this to replace my Geo Metro which I had sadly wrecked, which was even better in terms of mileage (and I miss it so!!!). I'm glad I went with the Fit!
