Thanks, Smartster. The height and weight considerations do pose some problems. I'd be curious to know if anyone else has thought about this and come up with a solution.<br />

Thanks, Neal. I'll look into this. I really want a Smart car but I also need to be able to carry my kayak with me - or there's little point in having a super fuel efficient car that I can't take on my long trips. I hadn't thought about the warranty angle, so thanks for pointing that out.<br />

The smart pure is probably the only one that can add in a roof rack, as the passion roof being that clear glass might have problems if you drill hols into it, but the pure roof is just a sheet of plastic.<br />
<br />
Also remember that the smart is already a very tall car, adding too much to it might cause some handling problems, also the towing capacity is 0 and the luggage capacity is very low, I think max is 450 pounds so if you have 2 normal sized adults you won't be able to get much more on the smart.

You might be able to order and get a roof rack that might fit from J.C. Whitney or some other parts place, but be careful as only the "pure" has a roof that can handle a rack. The rack might void your warranty so check with your dealer or smart? You might consider a small trailer .<br />
