Smart in USA
I borrowed one of these for a week, as I was interested in buying one in the UK.
They are very impressive little cars and drive like nothing else on the road, the closest resemblance seems to be a roadworthy go-cart.
The only bad points I could find was that it didn't seem to like the wet, although the trust+ system (traction and stability control) seemed to work to an extent and I hated the auto mode on the gearbox and on a few occasions found my self going round a traffic island at 15mph in 6th gear only for the car to suddenly jerk into 1st. The lack of a spare wheel also seemed strange.
The following sites may be of interest.

I actually own one
I also own one of these cars Silver color and it has a CDI motor, with 42hp!!! It has more torque than the normal gas smart. Driving it is very cool, since the fuel consuption is few and it has great quality!
IŽll post pics one day...
