make sure some punks at night don't try to flip them over like they've been doing to some of those cars.

I forgot to take the side roof panels off for the pic, but it was a little windy for that. I feel like a **** riding in it, but it beats the hell out of paying gas for a modded integra, plus the ladies always want a ride, well one of them haha . For comparison it is half the size of a 1999 Chev Malibu, and comes standard with 5 air bags and a turbo

Its a Benzino, made by Mercedes, called Smart

I don't think its in the US yet, just Canada and Europe.

3cyl-turbo diesel.

Its obviously not peppy, but it gets in and out of traffic fine, and is very steady on the road being so low.

Stock horsepower to the wheels as tested the dyno is 33 whp (40 hp at flywheel). Im going to look into getting the Smart Car software upgrade reflash, for a wild 27% Gain for $399. It will bump it to 42whp!!

Highest in class for all of Mercedes. As far as getting hit in it and flying 1000 meters, I dont want to find out. Egg shell design brother, the size makes it more durable, but like I said, city car, no express way

They're actually sturdier than most econoboxes out there... If you were to hit something like a Focus or a Cavalier at 40mph, you'd be the one with the least physical damage, if any... Surprising but true.
