92 miles to an Imperial gal of Diesel
Room for two linebackers
Fun to drive
None
I live in Canada and I recently purchased an "MCC Smart Car" from Mercedes. One of the first to arrive in Canada. For those who are not aware of this amazing car it is the most popular car in Europe and has been on the road since 1998. It apparently will be arriving in the U.S. next year. It looks like no other car and since it's arrival in Canada this month it has received alot of attention. It gets up to 92 miles per imperial gallon of Diesel fuel and in spite of its outside small appearance it has room for two linebackers. It's not like the old diesel cars because it's quiet and it doesn't smell of diesel fuel. It is safer than most cars on the road and it comes completely loaded for a approximately $15,000. The passenger compartment is a very strong cage similar to a Formular 1 race car. It's alot of fun to drive and the fuel economy is unbeatable. For the type of car it is I have given it a 10. Although it handles very well on the highway it is best suited for city driving . Due to it's size you can park it anywhere and most important with the price of gas the way it is it's very very cheap transportation.
