£7k-£9k, so at an exchange rate of 1.78 less than a month ago at 2.02!

a neighbor has a convertible smart with all the bells and whistles. For what it is, it seems way over-priced, underpowered, SMALL, rough ride, has a bizarre transmission and not that fuel efficient.

But they probably FEEL better about themselves regardless of the realities.

I see lots of smart cars around here.

Ever seen one on the freeway? The things get tossed around like motorcycles.

Outside a dense city dweller, these tiny cars look like a terrible choice for the US.

I feel just fine with my Yaris. Granted it works for me cause my commute is a bit long at 70 miles per day.
There a vehicles for many purposes. The Yaris does his very well IMO. The IQ might be a bit of a stretch and I would not buy one new because of the price. Perhaps a lightly used one if their reliability is above average and price comes down substantially.
