We love our smart electric car for two. It is very reliable and we love it.
I love my smart fortwo car! It does the job well. I can go up to three days to my job before having to recharge. It is a very reliable car. Although it can only sit two people at a time. We plan to buy an electric car that can seat 5 or more since it is the best way to not leave an imprint on our planet.

Small, compact, great for errands and environment.
Problem: 72 miles per charge is not a comfortable range to travel around the bay area round trip. (I do not have a charger available at my home address). Reliability: luckily I have always been in range of a charger but I do use our gas vehicle when I do not have time to wait for the charge. Comfort/performance: the handling is way better than the gas counterparts. I do enjoy that I can lift the seat up manually compared to my partner's car where I am not able to adjust up and down because I am short.

A smart cars likes and very little dislikes.
The vehicle has only two seats, really small. Good for parking in big cities, it only takes premium gas, only have to change the oil once a year, the speakers are not that great, I am not sure how it is in snowing weather. But it's good on the highway and the gas mileage is great, I fill it up about once a week.

Small and unique. Fast pickup and people laugh at me at stop lights.
Too small. Bought a stick shift and am tired of it, really. Would like a screen display and an automatic. Not much room in the back. Love the mileage, though. It is fun zipping around and showing off the manual but hard to drink coffee and do makeup at the same time.
