smart Car

American Automobile Association just rated the smart car the worst car of the decade

Noted problems by AAA:
"The worst driving car
It's intimating when you are driving the car and trying to pass a truck
Doesn't get good gas mileage
Transmission is recalcitrant...it doesn't shift right
For the money, you can buy a ford focus or a civic...

People aren't buying them and they're about done."


I don't agree with AAA
I've experienced no problems being intimated when passing a truck
Over the past 51,000+ miles, I've averaged 45+ mpg
Just when I got use to how the transmission shifted, I got the computer up-grade - it works fine, but remember it's not a true automatic transmission...I don't think that AAA gets it.....

Why do reporters keep saying it doesn't get good mileage? It gets the highest MPG of any gas powered car.
AAA? Who listens to them anyway?

Interesting. Any car can be improved. For the price its hard to beat a Smart, but only if your interested in the "Cult" type of car. This is not a car to save the world in the US. We dont give them any breaks in the US like Europe. In Europe its all…
