What's so smart about this box that only gets 33/41mpg? I think a civic Hybrid would be a nicer and more economical car. What am I missing???

 

novelty. No one knows its a crappier car than a civic yet. give it a couple years...people will learn.

 

I ordered one last year... and I should be getting it in a couple of months. I live in San Francisco and parking can be a pain. This car is made for cities where parking can be a pain. I've lived in NYC, SF and LA... and this car makes sense for NYC and SF... not so much for LA where parking is relatively easy.

I don't give a crap about how it drives. I only care about how it PARKS!

 

i bought one a month ago on ebay. its a hip car and sure, the honda will get better mpg but i could care less. the buzz for this car is insane along with a 9-18 month wait at the dealer if you put in your $99 reservation now. my wife wants a new land rover and that can only happen if the smart car goes away. thinking about it.

 

If he sold it for $17,800 that was a great deal... I sold mine right after I took delivery in late January for $21K... I had the first one in South Florida and a guy walked up to me as I was getting into the car and told me he would give me that much for it... I took it... why not, I had another on the way which should get here next month... the pricing has come down a bit but $17,800 is a good deal... most are still fetching $19K on ebay.
