Positive Review
I have a daily commute of about 52 miles, round trip. At first, I was very nervous about the range, because the "Wall Wart" that charges it from a 110 outlet only passes about 1kW (to a 17 kW-hr battery). Got the 220V dedicated charger, and now range is not an issue. Typically 7 miles every 10%. Acceleration is amazing- the Conventional Smart totally pales in comparison (as do a number of conventionally powered cars). It is very comfortable, VERY quiet, and confident driving down the DC beltway at 70 MPH. Highly recommended for Commuters! Park Anywhere!

When you can save app. $1300 per year on fuel costs, it's well worth a close look. One of the best features is that you can charge w a standard 110 receptacle.
No noise, plenty of space, parks anywhere…fun!!
2 seater
Easily goes 70mph and in warm weather 80mph Fun to drive and easy to charge. Charges plugged into regular house socket $3.00 No gas no oil!! I can fit both my folding bike and 4’ ladder without problem Sits a bit higher so good visibility also sun roof (doesn’t open but can shade) Silver with a red stripe
Fun and easy to drive, reliable, cute.
Need more charging stations in rural areas.
I absolutely love this car. Fun to drive, park anywhere, no concern about gas prices, plenty of power, easy to see out, lots of compliments, fits all my needs for a city car.
price
not very convient

great price, fun to drive
short range only, hours to recharge
I leased this car 2 years ago in Boston. I have only about 9000 miles total so far, but I love the car. The range is too short, but only for long trips. This car is great for everything shorter than 70 miles round-trip. No back seat so you can't take small kids, but for one or two adults, and a bunch of groceries or whatever in the back it is perfect. Range drops off at highway speeds, and in very cold weather. The car has lots of pep, low center of gravity takes corners very well, is fun to drive, and you can park on a postage stamp.
Fun to drive- great acceleration. Park anywhere!
