how long does that take?

Making its U.S. debut at the 1984 Los Angeles Auto Show, the quirky hatchback offered buyers a 55-hp engine that was capable of 30-mpg fuel ratings and a claimed 110-mph top speed for just $3990. As an added bonus, the GV (great value) Yugo also boasted a 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty.

my dad had one - it was a worthless piece of shit


I doubt a Yugo could do 110MPH in a free fall, much less on the highway.

Getting a Smart car just makes no damn sense, though. There are other new cars that are cheaper AND roomier and STILL get better gas mileage as that thing.

Yea, I keep coming back to that fact. For kicks, I went through their build system, and their options were pissing me off. I like a stripped down car, which would be the base model. Problem is, I couldn't get a light interior on the base. The options were black, and black. I'll never again own a car with anything dark, unless the price is fantastic, and you don't get a fantastic price on a new car :^S

The Fortwo is a joke of a car, and a far cry from the Roadster from 2003-2006. While that was still not a great car by any means, it was still compact and economical, but unlike the Fortwo, it actually looked good and was apparently fun to drive. I'll never understand the appeal of the Fortwo...

RIP Smart Roadster.

I would love to own one someday... if only.
