The perfect commuter car or first car for a teenager, this car is small, fuel economical, and easy to park. The interior's surprisingly spacious for a car only 8 feet long, with luggage space for lots of groceries-- or your golf clubs. It's loaded with safety features, rates similar to a Mercedes C-class (it's made by Mercedes), uses a different approach than most cars (ie doesn't rely on crumple zones!). It's rather fun to drive, particularly with the top down (I have a cabrio). It's engine is tiny, and horsepower is low by modern standards, but don't let the numbers fool you-- while it won't win any drag races, it's perfectly happy on urban streets or major highways. And many "smarties" get as high as 100 mpg (or as low as 3.4 L/100 km).
While not for everyone, it's something more people should consider. After all, why drive more car than you need?

Pros — Fuel economy, easy to park, attention-getting, friendly and informative fan club (clubsmartcar.ca), really cute, safe, eligible for Canada's eco-rebate, and  available as a convertible or with a fabulous panorama sunroof.
Cons — Only seats two, it's light-duty build quality, maintenance is pricey (it's made by Mercedes).
