It always amazes me on these things when people make their comments about some other car for the same price. Comments below referenced article mention C5 Z06, S2000, Z4, Boxster, 350z, or Miata. Where do these morons come up with this stuff? I suppose if you bought a VERY used model, yes, it could be done, but then you'd have high maintenance and upkeep costs. They are also fond of saying you could get a Fit or Yaris for a little more than the Fortwo, and get the same gas mileage. Morons I tell you, morons. There is absolutely no way I could get any other fully loaded cabrio for the price of my smart, and those other eco cars don't get anywhere near my MPG. Oh, and the transmission, they love to complain about it. It shifts like a manual, not an automatic, so yes it is different. Morons.
Sorry for the rant, it's been a rough week at work.
