The interesting part about the smart for me was insurance and taxes. I don´t know where you are from, but in Germany there are some twists to that. As a young driver you have to pay premium charges to the insurance companies, like five to six times of the normal price if you are an unexperienced driver. Cars which are "unpopular" (especially with young people) are also cheaper... Due to the small engine, taxes are also very low for smarts. All in all this made up for the rather high gas use...
