Saw a Consumer Reports thing that said they have the slowest acceleration they've ever tested, something like 14 seconds 0-60. And they aren't that great on gas, when compared to a Corolla or Malibu that seats 4-5 people and gets almost as much mileage.

I'll have to agree with you as far as taste goes. As far as the mileage goes, there's probably a difference between the gas and diesel versions. Back when they first came out, me and a buddy rented a diesel one for fun and put about 250 miles on it in 24 hours. I kept track of the mileage and the thing got 68 mpg driving the crap out of it.

I didn't know they made a diesel version. I don't think we get that one here. I looked at them over 2 years ago and there was a 12+ month wait. As for the gas ones, yea their actual mpg isn't near as good as they claim. There are claims (I don't know for sure because I don't own one) our there that say they only average 36 in mix driving. The MPG ave that is listed on the car is based off the Euro cars. Hell I get 28-30 (depending on my foot) in mixed driving in my Rio and I can put 5 people in it. Don't get me wrong, for a person that lives downtown the Smart is a smart choice, but if you live in the burbs it's a waist of money.
