My vehicle has a lot of fun items and is always a conversation piece.
Coils go bad every other year. Otherwise love it. Has lots of get up and go. Can drive very fast if needed on interstate to get out of traffic. Can fit any tall man that has ever gotten into it comfortably. My husband loves it and everyone who rides in it. Not comfortable on long trips, because seats do not recline.

Great gas mileage with easy service.
My smart car is a fantastic car for someone who does not need a lot of interior space. It has excellent gas mileage. The performance is excellent with little to no problems. When it is time for a service, a light and sound will let know that it needs done soon. It's fairly easy to get this service done at many auto shops.

Smart: Swiss Mercedes art.
The smart car is surprisingly roomy and easy to drive. I do not like to go long distances on the interstate, but this allows for better scenery while taking back roads on trips. The smart I own is a convertible which is an added bonus. Albeit, the smart is only available as a two-seater, so it is definitely not for parents. It is a great daily driver and you can park it anywhere!

It is a very good vehicle and drives well for people who do not have families.
It does not have much space to store items, so picking up large items, or moving large amounts of items. It takes a minute to speed up, and it can be a little loud sometimes. But it gets great gas mileage. You can go about 300 miles on the 10 gallon tank. It has lots of legroom in the front, and rides really nicely. The only bad thing is it gets stuck really easily in the snow.

This smart car takes premium gas only.
I don't like that my windows are not electric. I don't like that the radio system is so basic and that it doesn't have a CD player. Personally, I find the seats really uncomfortable. My clear coat has started to peel a little bit cause of sitting in the Florida sun.
