Motor Week road test of the Smart Fortwo.

So, is it smart to buy a smart? Well, that depends on what you expect from a small car. There are plenty of more useful four- and five-seat subcompacts for the same price. But they won't make the same super trendy statement as the smart. We definitely think this micro car has appeal, and it is certainly competent enough to find a niche.

There must be something different with my Little UFO, I get a consistent 40 MPG and everynow and again as high as 43 MPG.

To every curious person there is always some smarty pants in a big splashy SUV type who seems to be the "know it all". Talk about a

My wife and I are getting great mileage right now. They are only a month old and I expect the mileage to continue to trend up. I track it on Fuelly.com
