Smarts are about as quirky as any car I'm ever likely to get - but it has too many limitations for me. It's the iPad of cars: It has some geeky appeal, and I'd get one, but it falls somewhere between car and bike while not quite suiting both requirement. It's not as tiny as a bike, nor as spacey as a car - can't take many passengers, but also can't quite enjoy the between-traffic advantage of a bike. Much more expensive than a bike (and quite a few small cars as well), and then again, as tight as the parking situation here is, I'd spent the extra 70cm on a more function Peugeot. Can't do that "unparallel parking" gimmick here anyway.
