it is a sweet car, but i costs too much. for the price i would get a new jetta, which does not get that much more mileage. it is bigger, more comfortable and gets just 10mpg less than the smart.

when it comes to quality and car longetivity, i have heard both extremes. one saying they have lots of problems, other saying it is a solid car.
