Darlene and I decided we wanted to take a Smart Car out for a test drive today. We've been curious as to how we would fit into such a car (as a second car for everyday running around town).We got to a dealer that sells the Smart and had to wait patiently for a good 20 minutes just to speak to a Smart representative. When it was our turn, we asked to take one for a drive. They made it clear we could not have the vehicle to ourselves.
You really need to think about this for a moment. A 2 seater car that we both have to be comfortable in - and we can't take it out for a quick test drive together. The salesperson said it had to do with the fact that the Mercedes dealership (which sells Smart in Canada) treats the $20,000-ish car with the same degree of
So we walked. Needless to say, the likelihood of us buying a Smart car now is less than the chances of a Liberal landslide in the next Canadian election.
