[mowin]

I went 4 a ride the other day, and at a stoplite I pulled alongside a smart car. When I glanced over, The driver was looking UP at me. My spyder was BIGGER then the smarty. Kinda thinkin the spyder is safer...lol

But what about fuel economy?:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

There is a smart car at the dealership I go to for service on my Spyder at times. It belongs to the owner's daughter. I like to park next to it and see the looks it gets from people in the parking lot.

Well they are cuter than a smiling piglet... But which one would you rather be seen in or on?

 

[SpyderAnn01]

With my trailer I'm pretty sure I can carry a lot more stuff than a smart car. I do love a smiling piglet though.

Fuel economy.. it has the spyder beat...The fun factor....Not even close

The smarty looks like a pregnant skateboard..:roflblack:

If you follow the Smart at the same slow leisurely ride, you probably get better millage then the Smart.:spyder2:

On TopGear, they did prove a M5, is more fuel efficient then a Prius.
On a track Prius as fast as possible, M5 following and basically idling behind it had better millage.

I do get awsome millage in a convoy ride, but normally I drive alone and use the fuel injection a little more. :clap:
Hard to ryde slow on a Spyder. :roflblack:

Only Smart I'd be interested in would be one with a 'busa drivetrain.:doorag:

I have been told that the Smart car only gets about 32 mpg.

Pete :yes::yes:

You saw that one too... :2thumbs:

 

[ARtraveler]

I drove by a Vette this AM--same thing--I was looking down at the driver.

 

[mowin]

Ya but the vette is bigger/longer then the spyder. The smarty is a soup can on wheels

 

[arntufun]

Someone once said "the Spyder looks like a smart car with one wheel kick out from under it". :roflblack::roflblack: I found that funny when I heard that.
