Benefits of a Smart Car

When people are thinking about making an expensive buying decision, especially with something as new and unusual as the smart car, they often want to know the benefits of the various options they are considering. 

Environmentally-friendly. Not only is this small car fuel-efficient, averaging around 40 mpg, but it has several other environmentally-friendly features as well. The smart fortwo Sussex uses innovative energy-efficient and recyclable materials in its construction. In fact, 95% of the vehicle is recyclable and the dash material is made from recycled synthetics.

Easy to park and drive. The smart car has a very small footprint. At less than 9 feet long, it's nearly 3 feet shorter than the already diminutive Mini Cooper. Of course, a big reason for that is that it's only a 2-seater. But the short size means this car is super easy to park, especially in tight spots or short spots where other cars wouldn't fit. It's also got a great turning radius that makes it very maneuverable.

Appearance. No one can argue that the smart car is not unique in its design and appearance. See one, and you will never forget it, whether you like it or not! Many people's first impression is that it is just so darn cute. When Mercedes Benz brought the smart car to the United States, they updated its image to be more cutting edge, with more chrome, a bit longer hood section and updated headlights and dashboard area. You can also change out the plastic body panels to give it a whole new color, or purchase a car wrap with some kind of unique print or design on it.

Surprisingly roomy inside. Another surprising benefit of the smart car is its interior roominess. There is plenty of leg room for both driver and passenger. Head room is great too, with men as tall as 6'6" fitting in the driver's seat comfortably. The cargo area is also quite roomy for a small car. We fit a 50-pound black lab and 2 other dogs in our hatch when we go hiking. And we've toted home as many as 8 grocery bags and a case of soda when we go food shopping.
