There was a ton of room inside for me - more legroom than any car I tried save for the Chevy Cruze. I wouldn't want one (just too goofy looking), but I don't think you're right on your point unless he's substantially bigger than me.

I really don't care what it looks like. Just as long as it wasn't built by the UAW or the CAW.

You don't get into this car, you put it on.

I bought a new Mini Cooper in 2007 that didn't cost much more than a Smart car and got about the same mileage.

That's the problem when you start selling Euro cars in America they rip out the diesel. Prior to the Smart car being on sale in the US it came with a diesel engine. The diesel engine Smart was sold in Canada until they went on sale in the US. Now you can't even buy one up here..just the useless regular gas model.

my wife used to own a Beetle TDI, pretty nice driving car actually. Surprisingly roomy, one time I fit 20 8' 2x4s completely inside of it.
