AutoFocus test drive - Micro Smart Car for the U.S.

[pilotguy87]

My CRX has over 3 times the cargo room. I can fit my entire drumset in it! I'm also 6'1 and with the seat all the way back I can tap the pedals with my toes just barely without my head being ducked down. It sports a 1.5L 4 cylinder engine puttin about 80 horsepower. I've have had her well passed 100 mph

I love this car. Will buy soon.

[Vasa64]

Ha, ha,ha! He doesn't know how to open a Smart  1:10 :-D

@hippyraverocker Oh quit your damn whining. My mom most likely spends more money than you in an year, due to her jeep grand cherrokee engine which is bigger than a frapin v-8 engine. Do you live on the Eastern see board here in the usa?

[hippyraverocker]

@MsAbbydo

Yeah...try paying $8.45/US Gallon...if we had your prices here in the UK I would run a hummer just for the hell of it. These cheap diesel cars make motoring affordable and probably cost the same to run here as your Moms v8 does in the usa.

Oh my god, the narrator sounds like he wants to quit his job as a narrator or something, always monotone and sounding bored!! Couldn't even get passed the first 30 seconds of this vid. Sorry.

[okpearce]

you USA people are gonna love it! Ive got mine for a year and its the most funny thing to drive, not to mention the useful it is for city.

[anonymous8008]

0-60mph in 20 seconds..thats not smart ...thats dangerous........=O

[Neonspinnazz30]

12 seconds genious!

Even faster in auto mode!

Hey okpearce, we've had them for a whole year now! XD

[robivankenobi]

In Germany the mk2 smart is too long to be parked sideways legally...

They had to do it to meet US safety standards. But it's sad they do not produce a successor for the original smart city coupé which was 20 cm shorter. Parking sideways rocks! :D

We even did a 4000 mile journey around Europe with a smart mk1 Diesel - but that's another story...

[wimpie25]

And to think the new smart has been made quite a few inches longer that the first generation.

[enfieldpolice]

$16 K for that POS ? Better to buy a used Honda CRX

[AmericanNumber]

a/c mon I want a/c ...do it got it mon?

[hpwill]

[hippyraverocker]

Ever heard of a window?

[misogoushi00]

Do you see the Subaru Rex , daihatsu mira ?

Do are the same size of the smart And ...

They got allot of Power.

And Yes SMART ARE TOO EXPENSIVE !!

[KiaKing]

The smart is great. I drove one in January, and I expect mine to arrive in November. Everywhere you drive this car people pull out their camera phones!

[SmartCarUSA]

too bad people forget businesses are in business to make a profit. I am sure Honda and Toyota make their profit too, just in a different way. This is a wonderfully engineered car. Stop trying to put it down. if you dont like it fine, you dont have to but chill on the low blows.

i understand that. the dealer tells you once you walk out the door, you lose your chance for the extended warranty, then 2 months later you get a letter in the mail offering you a warranty at a reduced price.

[pilotguy87]

@SmartCarUSA I don't know if I agree with that bro. I mean My buddy and I have CRXs from 1985. His HF, which was the base trim model, gets over 50 miles to the gallon and its got 260,000 miles on it. I've got the DX, which was the middle trim, Gets a few more miles to the gallon more than the Smart... I added a header and it does 0-60 in under 9 seconds. These cars cost us 800 dollars each and they purr like baby kittens. What ever happened to Geo? Those got 45+ mpg and were very affordable.

[johannes914]

buy a Diesel Smart and you get 70 to 100 mpg ... Forget your Civic.

[albert2090]

You sure about that man? 70 to 100 mpg on 1 single gallon Diesel:) I want one:)
