We see a lot of people driving around in quirky little smart cars in Ottawa these days and my wife really wants to get one of these puppies. I have to admit that the car looks really cute and I even had one overtaking my trusty (and rusty) old Honda Accord on the highway yesterday.
The car has a lot going for it that make it ideal as a second car mainly for commuting short distances to the office. Fuel (diesel) consumption is rated at 51 m.p.g in city driving conditions. However, we decided against the car for two reasons:
- While the car has looks and personality, it is expensive with the smart fortwo starting at $16,500. At this price point, we could easily buy a new Honda Civic.
- The car can only seat two people. We are going to have a family, which would make a van a more suitable purchase.
