Buddy of mine got a Smart car as a loaner so we took it out for some 'testing'. Weird car. It's built for getting good gas mileage, but uses premium fuel. The transmission is the slowest shifting I've ever experienced. The car handles OK given the small tires, but goodness is it slow! 20 seconds to 55MPH! Here's the video:
