After reading poor review after poor review by journalists who think smarts should behave like minivans and SUVs, I wrote my own review: smart is for the right audience

No awards expected, just a more positive note than most "expert" reviews.

What's weird is the two negative reviews are from people who owned the car yet declare you can only carry a couple grocery bags.

Something smells wrong. Maybe they only shop at Costco?

What car did he drive? Like the no mention of the crash test results or safety features.

Interesting, seems like good reviews on the website.
