It's a cool car, and it will succeed in city conditions, however highway and interstate driving will not be this cars crown. No car is meant to be crashed, so as long as people don't crash in these things there will be nothing to complain about. I would never buy one, I have a motorcycle, and I really don't ever feel safe on the Highway just because I know that if something goes wrong and I lose control for any reason I'm most likely dead. I prefer driving a car, I don't think I'd feel safe on the highway in a Smart. I need something more responsive, more powerful, and that won't chop my legs off in the case of a frontal accident.
