Im thinking of selling my subie for a smart car.
I'd much rather get a Honda Fit than a Smart. Just seems much more practical with comparable mpg, rear seats and considerably cheaper... but us 6'+ guys don't fit in a, well, Fit.

I had it on the freeway taking corners really well.
Imagine some sticky tires, suspension, and more power? LOLOL
Also, I think Id rather be in a crash in a smart than in my wrx. Eh, about even. Lots of ignorant folks out there

the eurospec ones are quite a bit different, and smaller.

i think smart car is really not smart. a fit or even a suzuki works better. get just as good as mpg but bigger. and short wheel base is really just not good at handling.

Are you seriously considering going to a Benz over a Subie? Nvm, went to BMW wth am I saying, jk'g.
The Smart's crash rating is actually pretty good considering it's doors do open on the side impact tests. However imho, if that Hummer hits you; I would rather be in the Subie GD than a Smart.
Should get great gas mileage and lots of looks considering how unique it is.
