I was reading about the smart car this weekend. Didnt realize they were RWD mid engine. But yea, also read they take premium. I dont see these thing selling well after the newness wears off.

Modding the daily driver...
Stock height:
Stock rear:
2 inch drop:
Hub spacers:
You know I cant leave well enough alone ::lol
I must say, Ive gotten used to the cornering feel of lowered cars. Now the Yaris feels "normal." Wont be able to drive a stock car again, I suppose.

I get 40 driving in stop and go and the EPA says I should only get 36 on the highway. Its just an average
We get the sedan here, but I think the hatch looks better. They get similar mpgs, though.

Rimz when the tires go eventually. Lots of cheap options for a 16 inch 4x100.

I was BS'ing with someone about high MPG vehicles, and we bother assumed that since the SmartCar is so small it had to get better mileage then the other non-hybrids out there. We were suprised when the website showed differently... Maybe the SmartCar numbers were estimates, or had not been done with the revised testing standards.
