Smart Cars have arrived in DC!
I’m excited to be able to say that I saw a Smart Car yesterday for the first time, although I am less enthused that I saw it after I narrowly missed becoming intimately acquainted with its rear fender and the pavement. You’d think a Smart Car driver would be more willing to share the road!
Anyway- Smart Cars are pretty amazing contraptions. They’re built for two, built for cities, have trunk space for your groceries or whatever, and are very euro-shic. They are also one of the easiest things to park- being half the length of a lot of SUVs I’ve seen trucking around the narrow DC streets. In short, they’re one of a few really good ideas for urban dwellers car-wise.
What makes them even more exciting is that they’re available on the East Coast. That and in two short years they will be available in a plug-in electric and a hybrid form. Brilliant!
So if any of you are looking into buying a car for two, I suggest looking into the Smart Car.
