Smart cars only exist for entertainment purposes.
Imagine standing at the Arc de Triumph in Paris with its 12 roads leading on and off. In 20 minutes, saw at least 3 accidents including a smart car versus smart car one. The tow truck got both on the back of the flatbed while the drivers were still swapping details. Just wish I had a video of it. In Paris, it's the only car that can easily get a parking space on the street, mainly because it fits with the rear to the curb instead of sideways.
I wouldn't bother with one living in Oz. Just the thought of driving one with all the oversized double-trailer trucks gives me the heebee jeebees. Like I said, I grew up getting driven around in a '76 Kingswood. That thing was solid. Get into a minor accident and all you needed was a rubber mallet and a block of wood and no more dints. Major accidents just resulted in a quick trip to a panel beaters were the did the same thing with better tools. It was built like a tank. Probably would still have it too, except it didn't have power steering.
