Smart Car

I found a picture of the car, and even an article about. I found it at http://freecarloansearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/smart-car. This isn't the whole article, but what's here is pretty interesting.

Small and Smart

The smallest among the small sub-compact car category would be the Smart ForTwo (dubbed simply as “Smart”). Does it automatically mean that the Smart car is the smartest choice for people looking to economize?

The Smart car is roughly a foot longer than an E-Z Go golf cart. This means that the Smart car is even smaller than the famous Mini Cooper by a little more than three feet.

Needless to say, the Smart car houses a very small 1-liter 3-cylinder engine that could give you a very respectable average of 36 MPG (33 city/41 highway). The gas mileage of the Smart Car rivals what Hybrid cars could give but at a bargain price of $11,590 - $16,590 depending on the trim.

Aside from the car’s economy, the Smart ForTwo still manages to house two passengers comfortably. Despite its size, the average passenger won’t feel cramped at all.
