Not quite as small sadly but for the price it does pretty well and is a nice car. I got a Chevy Spark (my father is rolling in his grave, he was a Ford man). It seems huge to me compared to the Smart but when I see it in the parking lots it looks like a toy so I guess it is still OK. Not sure about the mileage yet, it has spent a fair amount of time idling while I wait at meetings my husband attends and it has been COLD! I would guess around 38 - 40 highway. I have to use the highway to get anywhere from the farm so city mileage I don't have a clue about.

People would point and laugh at me in the Smart then I would just speed past them. I figure if they were going to slow down just to laugh then they deserved to get left behind. They probably had no idea the car could go that fast
