oh yeah, the semi automatic (clutchless, with only a up/down selector. not really atomatic. . .) is piss slow, especially when downshifting, it really takes several seconds before the thing reacts, and then another second or one, two, before it actually did the shift. apart from that, it's piss-slow. at my regular relaxed-140kmh spot, i was struggling to get over 90. . .
and all in all it didn't really feel too small inside either. unless when you've got a passenger
you're really close to eachother 
besides all that, it's the cheapest edition, so yeah. . . electric windows, and that's where the comfort ends, i think . . .

Puppies are cute and not much smaller than a smart car, but you don't buy one to drive around in do you.

Probably not that much slower than my car.

uhm.. . 0-100 in 19.8 seconds, and a top speed of 135.
i must admit, i never even had enough read to actually get over 100kmh. even my twingo was on 120-130 on that stretch . .

Huh. OK. Maybe it is a little slower than my car. It'd be great for around town though.

Yeah, you'll be able to park it easily in a normal sized parking space. Just like you can do with every other small car out there that is actually decent in other ways as well.

they have a smart car dealership in seattle. they're getting steadily more popular, but you can buy a honda civic for the same price, and it gets 40mpg.
the smart cars are real easy to parallel park, though, because you can fit nearly anywhere.
