Not to fret; the Yaris was rated most efficient "Subcompact." EPA classifies the smart as a "Two Seater." Different league.

I'm not surprised about that, but what does surprise me is that ESC is not available and side airbags not standard. Would be nice to see the Smart on this list:

(PS: I'll take lower mileage for the car to get the best rear impact protection vs what I see on that list..)

The title if this thread is quite deceiving. As stated the smart is not a subcompact and is rated to get better gas mileage than the Yaris. A quick trip to http://www.toyota.com/yaris/specs.html confirms that.
