Smart Car
Thinking about getting a Smart Car to pull behind my motorhome. I searched on subject but did not find anything. Is there anyone out there that can tell me if it can be done? Anything to look out for...

W3ozwizard, get this month's (3/16) Consumer Reports independent ratings and go to page 59: "Still Not a Smart Buy...harsh ride and jet-blast noise levels will probably drive you crazy....still a mediocre, compromise-laden vehicle with a suspension that delibers a stiff, buckboardlike ride, and a tiny engine that hesitates from a standstill...engine idle that shudders through the floor and seat and is reminiscent of an old combine tractor...the interior has several design flaws...Highs: Easy parking, access, turning circle, fuel economy. Lows: Ride, noise, acceleration, requires premium fuel..." We steered clear of this car when buying in 2011 and are happy we did.
Interesting review. Its a small car, no its a really small car, why would someone expect a smooth ride. I call BS on the noise, quieter than my jeep was. Acceleration, about the same as any small engined car. Yah the premium fuel thing sucks...but ours burns diesel so... If you want acceleration get the electric. That'll fix ya. 150 KM or so of range though. Not for everybody although it works great for us.
If anybody is looking for a big car that rides well, DON'T BUY THIS CAR" :)
