Me and my sister couldn't stop laughing at those things when we were in Italy...

why?

I guess they look kind of comical, and they are so small that they fit in anywhere.

they're practical.

Theyre really small, so I dont know how practical they really are.  Whats the storage capacity?

There are different types of practicality. Interior/cargo space makes a car practical to some, and easy parking, a tight turning radius, and excellent fuel economy make it practical for others. The Smart would be practical for the latter people, but not the former.

Thats basically what I'm saying...if you want to make a trip to your local Wal Mart, this isnt the car to take.

This is a city car, and city folk traditionally hate Wal-Mart.

but in sf or nyc, where parking is limited, the smart would be like a dream. it's only as long as a motorcycle, so you can park it perpendicular to the curb and not have it stick out on the street.
