I probably wouldn't trust a smart car as far as I could push it. Which, I dunno, might be farther than I think!
I too would like to hear the story behind that comment. We have had 5 smart cars, both gas and diesel, for the office. They've been driven (collectively) a lot of miles with no problems of any kind.
In fact of all the people I know of thay have had a smart car, one person was unhappy with it, but they were the type of person who could break an anvil with a rubber hammer. They merely beat the car to death.
They are cool little cars, but not for me because:
MPG not very impressive considering size. Geo Metro's from the mid 90's could hit 40MPG no sweat.
Cost too much for what you get.
No standard trans available.
A Ford Fiesta with the 1 liter 3 banger turbo can be had for less than 17 grand and should be far more engaging to drive with the stick and 120hp.
