I have only looked at a Smart Car from a distance. what i see so far, i do not like. the wheels are small and its definetely not a family vehicle. i know the engine must be terribly small. my real concern is the inside space and comfort for a big man. does this exist in a Smart Car or am i just fooling myself?

My friend, I think you are SOL.

But, never say never till you actually sit in one.

I’m 6’2” and 190. I test drove one and had surprisingly ample room. In your case at 6’5” and 245, there may not be much room for anything else. I didn’t get in the back seat, just the drivers seat. It’s a small engine too!

You may be sexually assaulted by the handbrake.A tight squeeze by the sounds of it.Now that would be a legitimate case of DUI.Not a smart move.

You should test drive one. There’s a bunch of those Hot Wheels looking things around here. I once saw one driven by a guy so fat, all you could see was the color of his shirt in all the windows and a really small face in the windshield.

I agree, test drive one and see! Maybe they have a slightly bigger model somewhere.

@fireinthepriory I don’t think they do. Honestly, though, I don’t see the point in getting a Smart Car.

The Prius beats it in mileage, and the Mini Cooper isn’t very far behind. Hell, the Audi A3 is about even, according to this website.

So, there’s a bunch of cars that would be better or equal in fuel economy that don’t look like Hot Wheels cars and can comfortably fit two or more people. Even tall people.

@mrentropy A Smart Car is about half the price of a Prius if you’re buying new. But yes, nothing beats a Prius if you’re looking for the best milage.
