The reason why I/ We love our smart cars is purely due to the fun, versaitility and safety. Meaning, there are a lot of cars out there that are fun, offer fun via different ways to accessorize, customize or modify but the smart for it's size, offers so much more without any reservations. We have drivers that have it towed and drivers that tow with it. We have drivers that change their panel colors based on their mood. We have drivers that theme their cars!

We have drivers that love the gas mileage and have drivers that immediately put a turbo in it and aren't concerned about the MPG. At the end of the day, it does what is MOST important; it protects the driver and the passenger. It caters to every driver on the road. We still do costco runs and 6'5 men drive them every day. Drivers who have Ferraris, Lambos, Bentleys and a smart? They drive the smart every day, it's their favorite. It makes people smile. It's a happy magnet. It's an understatement for it's size and those in the know, will be the most passionate and educated drivers with regards to their smart. It's not understood by the masses and the drivers love sharing what makes them happy.

The smart car driver is the most secure driver on the road. Meaning, they are confident. They are informed and they are aware. Not easily persuaded unless they know the facts. You will never meet a smart car driver who is unhappy, well, you maaaay but at the end of the day the biggest chunk of the drivers are the happiest people on Earth :) It's so true! You will never find a car (at least at the present) so fun to drive...

We hope you become part of the MADNESS, in a good way :)

Cheers,

"The smart car driver is the most secure driver on the road. Meaning, they are confident."

That's probably a result of the inverse ratio between the size of their car and the size of their manhood.

What attracted me to Smart was that it epitomised the 'form follows function' design principle.

Previously I was driving a sports car that could do 0-100kmh in under 5 sec and a top speed of over 240kmh. It was a great car to drive to its limits but owning it was not without heartache. Insurance, running and maintenance costs were correspondingly high - premium fuel only and $250 per tyre. Yet 99.9% of the driving I did with it was in commuter traffic with one occupant.

In comparison, the Smart is the perfect design for my purposes. It provides the same safety and levels of comfort as more expensive cars but it is less than half the running costs. Sure it has less than half the power and speed of the sports car but it is more than adequate for the driving I do. Inside it is more spacious per person than my wife's SUV.

Driving the Smart is a more enjoyable experience because its design is a perfect fit for my requirements.

It makes people smile! And it makes sense. Most of the time, just look around, there is only one or two people in about every car you see. It's eco friendly, comfortable, fun to drive and safe. I'm a form follows function kind of guy, and like that about the smart. I also like it's uniqueness. Can hardly tell any cars apart anymore. But this little guy is in a class by itself. A very cool little car.

I love everything about it. Except perhaps that the seats really don't recline more than a few inches and prevented any snoozing on the long road trip.
